BLACK GARLIC by GOURMET MAGIC is made the traditional way: by warming garlic at over 140F for more than 30 days. In food science terminology, this “browning” is caused by the “Maillard reaction”: natural carbohydrates in the garlic break down into sugars, and the proteins break down into amino acids, which react forming compounds that are both delicious and incredibly healthy. The flavors are complex and rich, and the already wonderful health benefits of garlic are enhanced well beyond regular garlic. Black Garlic originated in Korean cuisine over 4000 years ago, and it is now being applied to a variety of cuisines. Raw garlic is too harsh to eat, but during the black garlic aging process, these harsh notes are converted into delicious sweet and "umami" (meaty) flavors, with complex aromas including balsamic vinegar and tamarind. Black Garlic has become a sought-after ingredient used in high-end cuisine, as in or alongside charcuterie, cheese plates, or pureed and blended into gourmet spreads and toppings.
