The Original Black GarlicBlack Garlic Cloves
The Original Black Garlic Peeled Cloves 50g are soft, mellow and full of deep savoury flavour with a gentle sweetness running through each clove. This handy pack of ready prepared black garlic is ideal when you want the rich, grown up taste of black garlic without any peeling or chopping. The texture is tender and slightly sticky, so the cloves slice neatly into crunchy salads and creamy risottos or crush smoothly into sauces, dips and purées. Their flavour has none of the harsh bite of raw garlic, which means you can enjoy them straight from the pack as an umami rich snack or tuck them into sandwiches, grain bowls and roasted vegetable trays. A few cloves bring instant depth to everyday cooking, from simple pasta suppers to quick stir fries and tray bakes.
Key Features:
- Net pack weight 50g of whole peeled black garlic cloves ready to use.
- Garlic is slowly aged under controlled warmth and humidity so the cloves develop natural sweetness and umami depth.
- Mild aroma and gentle character that brings savoury richness without the strong scent of raw garlic.
- Convenient peeled format that saves prep time and is easy to add to sauces, dressings and snacks.
- Practical pack size for discovering black garlic or topping up a favourite store cupboard ingredient.
Recipe Inspiration:
- Finely slice a few cloves and scatter over a tomato and mozzarella salad with basil for a subtle, sweet savoury twist.
- Mash black garlic with soft butter and a squeeze of lemon, then melt over grilled steaks, portobello mushrooms or roasted chicken.
- Blend the cloves with chickpeas, tahini and lemon juice to make a silky black garlic hummus for spreading, dipping and snacking.
- Stir chopped cloves into a miso broth or ramen style soup just before serving to add a rounded umami note without overpowering the bowl.
What is the difference between black garlic cloves and roasted garlic?
Both start with ordinary garlic, but roasted garlic is cooked quickly at high oven temperatures, while black garlic is aged slowly for weeks at low heat and high humidity. This long aging triggers browning reactions inside each clove, turning them dark and jelly like with flavours often compared to balsamic vinegar and dried fruit, rather than the toasty notes you get from roasted garlic.
How much black garlic should I use instead of fresh garlic in a recipe?
Black garlic is gentler and more rounded than raw garlic, so you can usually start by swapping clove for clove, then adjust to taste. Because its flavour is complex rather than sharp, it works well when added towards the end of cooking or stirred in off the heat, letting you taste as you go and add extra cloves without the risk of the dish becoming harsh.
Can black garlic cloves be used in desserts and sweet recipes?
They can, and the results are surprisingly good. The natural caramel like notes in black garlic pair well with dark chocolate, coffee and caramel, so a finely chopped clove can be blended into chocolate truffle mixture, brownie batter or a rich ice cream base to add depth and a hint of savoury balance without making the pudding taste obviously garlicky.
