Black garlic powder Organic

Organic black garlic powder is one of the most aromatic and complex ingredients in modern gastronomy. Black garlic is produced by slow fermentation under conditions of high humidity and constant temperature for weeks. The result is a completely transformed garlic with a deep black color, a mellow texture, and aromas reminiscent of chocolate and tamarind. It is used by the best chefs in sauces, marinades, risottos, and meat dishes.

The ingredient we use

We use organically processed garlic that is ground into a fine, uniform powder, raw, without additives or colorings. The black color comes from natural Maillard reactions during the aging process. The powder is fine, glossy, and easily soluble.

Botanical identity

Garlic (Allium sativum, fam. Amaryllidaceae) has been cultivated for thousands of years. Black garlic originated in East Asia (Japan, Korea) and has been used in cooking for decades. Its production process requires strict temperature and humidity control for weeks — completely different from conventional dehydration.

Aroma, color, and taste

Deep black-brown color with a characteristic glossy texture. The aroma is soft and complex: without the pungency of fresh garlic, with sweet umami notes reminiscent of molasses, chocolate, and tamarind. The taste is completely different from fresh or dried garlic — sweeter, deeper, and with surprising umami. It is also used as a substitute for fresh garlic without the undesirable flavor.

How to use it

Sprinkle a generous amount directly into pasta sauces and risottos for amazing depth of flavor. Excellent in meat and fish marinades for umami depth. Perfect in salad dressings and aioli. See also Garlic Powder for the classic garlic flavor in powder form.

Combinations

With thyme and rosemary in meat sauces. With sesame oil and ginger for Asian flavors. With black pepper and balsamic vinegar for high-quality dressing. With Parmesan and Pecorino in pasta for umami depth. With cream for aioli and dips.

Physical appearance

Deep black-brown powder with a characteristic glossy texture. Easily dissolves and mixes well in liquids and sauces.
