Information

Product Description

Transform your cooking from ordinary to extraordinary with the "black gold" of the culinary world.

Forget everything you know about the sharp, pungent bite of raw garlic. Finally. Black Garlic is a treasure born from time and patience. Through a signature slow-ageing process, ordinary white cloves are transformed into jet-black jewels with a soft, fudge-like texture and a flavour profile that is nothing short of sophisticated.

The Ultimate Umami Punch
Nicknamed the "Umami Bomb," our perfectly aged black garlic delivers a complex depth of flavour. Imagine the richness of mellow molasses meeting the tangy, savoury-sweet notes of tamarind, all finished with a subtle woodsy undertone. It is sweet, savoury, and completely addictive.

Why You’ll Love It:

Ready to Use: No peeling or chopping required just pure, aged cloves ready to be mashed, sliced, or eaten straight from the jar.
Versatile Ingredient: Elevate any dish or sauce, top your steaks, or even pair it with dark chocolate and cheese boards.
100% Natural: Just garlic and time. No additives, no preservatives.
Perfectly Aged: Slow-cured to ensure a consistent, melt-in-the-mouth texture.
Carb count?: No stress, if you're low-carb or keto, this is a low-glycaemic way to add massive flavour. While it tastes sweet, the sugars are naturally occurring and developed during the ageing process from the carbs naturally present in garlic. The carbs have been converted through ageing into simpler sugars, hence the sweetness you can taste, but the daily portion size is small when so much flavour is packed into a few cloves. 2 cloves go a long way and contain just over 3g net carbs.

Usage, Culinary Tips and Storage

Flavour and Culinary Use: Finally. Black Garlic offers a rich, sweet, balsamic flavour with deep umami notes and no harsh bite or aftertaste. Enjoy the soft cloves whole as a savoury snack, mash them into butter and marinades, or blend them into dressings, sauces, and keto dips.

Health and Digestion: Through a slow, natural aging process, the harsh compounds in raw garlic are transformed into S-allyl-cysteine (SAC) and bioavailable antioxidants. It is gentle on the digestive system and will not cause garlic breath.

Texture and Peeling: Expect a soft, jelly-like, pliable texture similar to a dried date or prune. The skin peels away effortlessly to reveal the dark, nutrient-dense clove inside.

Storage and Handling: To keep your black garlic at its best, once opened, store in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 1 month. Keep out of reach of domestic pets.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is black garlic made, and how does it taste compared to regular garlic?

Black garlic is created by slowly aging fresh whole garlic bulbs under controlled heat and humidity over several weeks. This natural process transforms the cloves into a soft, jelly-like texture and turns them deep black. The strong, sharp bite of raw garlic is replaced with a complex, sweet, and savoury umami flavour reminiscent of balsamic glaze, tamarind, and aged molasses.

How do I use Finally. Black Garlic in low-carb cooking?

Because the cloves are soft and spreadable, you can mash them directly into butter, olive oil, dressings, and marinades, or blend them into rich sauces and low-carb gravies. You can also slice the cloves to top grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and salads for an effortless hit of rich umami without needing to cook them first.

Is Finally. Black Garlic keto-friendly and free from added sugars?

Yes. Unlike options such as xylitol, sorbitol, or maltitol, around 90% of erythritol is absorbed into the bloodstream in the small intestine and excreted unchanged in urine before reaching the colon. This makes pure erythritol much gentler on the stomach, with a significantly lower risk of digestive discomfort or bloating.
