Black Garlic
VegetarianFermented black garlic cloves deliver deep, sweet, molasses-like umami complexity.
Black garlic is regular garlic that has been slowly fermented at low heat for weeks, transforming it into jet-black, soft cloves with a sweet, complex flavor reminiscent of balsamic vinegar, molasses, and tamarind. Smeared or sliced on pizza, it adds an extraordinary depth of umami sweetness entirely different from roasted or raw garlic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does black garlic taste like?
Black garlic tastes nothing like regular garlic. The fermentation process creates a soft, almost jammy clove with sweet, complex flavors of balsamic, molasses, tamarind, and deep umami with no raw garlic bite whatsoever.
How do you use black garlic on pizza?
Spread softened black garlic cloves directly on the dough as a flavor base, or slice them and scatter over the pizza before baking. A little goes a long way due to its concentrated, sweet umami flavor.
