The white garlic from our fields, thanks to a double process of first fermentation and then oxidation "caramelization", is transformed into the delicious Italian Black Garlic Elixir. Extraordinary product with multiple uses in the kitchen and health benefits, all Made in Italy
We are an agricultural company immersed in the hills of Val Vibrata, near the Adriatic Sea. This is where we grow exclusively only white garlic to turn it into black garlic so it is the original and true black garlic, it only comes from white garlic bulbs which have less allicin. We do not use pesticides and chemical products but the processing phases are all done manually like in the old days, at the end we prepare the famous and beautiful braids to hang.
It is believed that it is an ancient food, used as an energizer for those who worked for the construction of the pyramids in the Egypt of the Pharaohs, based on the frescoes found; in recent times Korea has rediscovered this food initially spread only in the East, especially in China, Japan, Thailand very popular to make herbal teas. Here it is used because it is believed to be an Elixir of life. In the last ten years, black garlic has arrived first in the United States and now its use has also spread to Europe, in particular England and Spain. Experts are very interested in this new food, calling it a SUPERFOOD because it is a real panacea for everyone's health.
Black garlic is obtained through a fermentation process of white garlic, without the addition of additives and preservatives; then it is left to oxidize for about 45 days. During the whole process the garlic bulbs become dark black, a natural caramel effect is created thanks to the formation of melanoidin, an antioxidant par excellence (Maillard reaction); then they take on a soft, gelatinous consistency, with a slightly sweet taste similar to dried fruit with a salty and an aftertaste that can recall that of licorice, soy sauce and a truffle-like scent.
Black garlic therefore has a totally different taste from the common raw garlic is not pungent, does not cause halitosis problems, since the fermentation process reduces allicin and other components present in fresh garlic are transformed into sugars so it digests more easily.
