Organic garlic | whole | black | fermented

What is it about / Product description

Organic garlic in fermented, black form is an aromatic delicacy made from whole bulbs from Spain. A deep-black, soft texture develops through several weeks of maturation, reminiscent of dried fruit and ideal for use as a gourmet seasoning in creative Biova cuisine. The product is offered as practical bulk goods and is therefore particularly suitable for professional users and ambitious hobby chefs.

During fermentation under controlled conditions, the original pungency transforms into a mildly sweet aroma with a balanced flavor profile. The almost odorless black garlic is easy to digest and can also be used by more sensitive gourmets. Biova places great value on organic quality, careful selection of raw materials and gentle processing of the whole bulbs.

In the kitchen, fermented garlic opens up numerous possible uses, from hearty braised dishes to fine sauces and dips. It refines vegetable dishes, risotto, marinades or dressings as well as modern fusion creations. Thanks to its mild character, organic garlic can even be used in selected desserts and gourmet recipes.

Origin

The bulbs used come from Spain, where sunny locations and a mild climate provide ideal conditions for aromatic garlic. The soils of the growing region are known for high-quality vegetable cultivation and ensure even growth of the bulbs. This creates a reliable basis for a consistently high-quality Biova product.

Cultivation / Production / Harvest

The organic garlic is cultivated according to ecological guidelines and harvested at the optimal stage of ripeness. The whole bulbs are then selected and prepared for fermentation. In a specialized facility, they mature over several weeks at precisely controlled temperature and humidity into black, soft garlic in chunks or whole bulbs.

Special features

Through fermentation, fresh garlic is transformed into a mild, sweetly aromatic specialty with hardly any noticeable typical garlic breath. Processing whole bulbs preserves the structure and juiciness of the cloves and differs significantly from powdered variants. In combination with organic quality, the black color and the practical bulk format, Biova offers an interesting alternative to conventional garlic.

Differences in origin and processing

Depending on the country of origin, the size and basic aroma of the bulbs vary, which is reflected in the flavor profile of the fermented product. The Spanish raw material delivers a balanced, aromatic result with harmonious sweetness. Precise control of time, temperature and humidity is also crucial, as it decisively determines the color, consistency and sweetness of the black garlic.

Taste & aroma

Black garlic offers a complex, mildly sweet aroma with notes of dried plums, malt and sugar beet syrup. A hint of balsamic vinegar and liquorice rounds off the sensory profile. The typical sharp garlic smell recedes clearly into the background and makes it easier to use in delicate dishes and open kitchens.
