The Original Black Garlic Paste 100g

Black Garlic Paste

The Original Black Garlic Paste 100g is a glossy, spoonable paste made from long matured black garlic, with a flavour that is rich, mellow and gently sweet. Instead of the sharp hit of raw garlic, you get soft notes of balsamic, molasses and dried fruit wrapped up in deep savoury umami. The texture is smooth and silky, so it slips easily into liquids, batters and sauces without any lumps.

This black garlic paste is an easy way to bring restaurant worthy depth to everyday cooking. Stir a small amount into dressings, dips, stocks, marinades, stir fries and sauces, or swirl through soups and noodle bowls for instant umami. It also works brilliantly as a condiment at the table in place of ketchup when you want a more grown up, flavour packed twist with burgers, roasted vegetables, grilled meats or chips. With no peeling, slicing or crushing needed, you simply dollop and stir for effortless flavour.

Key Features:

• Smooth, cohesive paste that measures cleanly on a teaspoon and blends evenly into liquids and soft mixtures.
• Concentrated recipe so you only need a small amount at a time, helping the jar last through multiple meals.
• Reliable flavour that performs well in both quick cooking and slow simmered dishes.
• Compact jar that tucks neatly into the fridge door or pantry shelf once opened.
• Size: 100g

Recipe Inspiration:

• Blend a spoonful of black garlic paste with mayonnaise and a squeeze of lemon for a quick dip for chips, roasted potatoes or crisp vegetables.
• Whisk into soy sauce, rice vinegar and a little honey to make a glossy stir fry sauce for greens, tofu or thin strips of beef.
• Stir through mushroom risotto or orzo with a knob of butter right at the end of cooking for extra depth and savoury richness.
• Mix with tomato puree and a splash of water to brush over roasted vegetables, chicken thighs or halloumi before baking or grilling.

What is black garlic paste and how is it different from ordinary garlic paste?

Black garlic paste is made from whole garlic bulbs that have been gently aged for several weeks at controlled warmth and humidity before being blended into a smooth paste. During this slow process the cloves turn dark and soft, and their flavour changes from sharp and pungent to mellow, sweet and savoury, so the paste tastes closer to balsamic and dried fruit than to raw garlic.

Can black garlic paste be used in sweet or dessert recipes?

It can add a surprising depth to puddings that include chocolate, coffee or caramel. A small amount whisked into a dark chocolate ganache, brownie batter or ice cream base brings a subtle savoury note that makes the sweetness feel more rounded without making the dessert taste obviously garlicky.

Is the flavour of black garlic paste very strong?

Its flavour is layered and distinctive but far gentler than fresh garlic. You notice a rounded savoury sweetness rather than a fierce bite, which means you can adjust the amount gradually and enjoy the umami richness without the overpowering heat or lingering sharpness associated with raw cloves.
