Cure Bliss Fermented Black Garlic - 150g

Usage Instruction: Fermented black garlic is a unique and flavorful ingredient that has gained popularity recently due to its deep, sweet, and umami-rich taste. It is made by fermenting regular garlic bulbs at a controlled temperature and humidity for an extended period, often several weeks to months. This fermentation process transforms the garlic into soft, dark cloves with a distinctive flavour profile. Here's how you can use black fermented garlic in your culinary adventures:

1. Snacking: Fermented garlic black cloves can be eaten as a delicious and healthy snack. Simply peel a clove and enjoy the sweet and savoury flavour. It's a guilt-free alternative to regular garlic due to its milder taste and lack of strong garlic breath.
   
   
2. Condiment: Mash a few cloves of black fermented garlic into a paste, then mix it with olive oil or mayonnaise to create a unique condiment for sandwiches, wraps, or burgers. This adds a wonderful depth of flavour to your favourite dishes.
   
   
3. Salads: Dice or mince black garlic and add it to salads for an extra layer of flavour. It pairs well with both leafy greens and grain-based salads. You can also blend a fermented garlic vinaigrette with vinegar, olive oil, and herbs.
   
   
4. Pasta: Incorporate fermented black garlic into pasta sauces, such as Alfredo or tomato-based, for a complex, sweet, and earthy flavour. You can use it in both traditional and creative pasta dishes.
   
   
5. Meat and Seafood: Use fermented garlic as a rub or glaze for meats like steak, chicken, or lamb. The garlic's natural sweetness caramelizes and enhances the flavour of the protein. It's also a great addition to seafood like salmon or shrimp marinades.
   
   
6. Soup and Broth: Fermented garlic black can add depth and richness to soups and broths. Simply add a clove or two to the simmering liquid and let it infuse the flavours. Black garlic pairs well with mushroom and miso-based soups.

Fermented Black Garlic Overview

Fermented black garlic traces its origins to Asia, particularly Korea and Japan, where it has been enjoyed for centuries. What sets it apart from regular garlic is the meticulous fermentation process that transforms the pungent, sharp cloves into something entirely different. Through a slow and controlled ageing process, garlic cloves turn jet black, develop a sweet and savoury flavour, and take on a uniquely soft and jelly-like texture.

Changing fresh garlic into fermented black garlic is a labour-intensive process that requires time, patience, and careful temperature and humidity control. Typically, garlic bulbs are aged for weeks to months, often in specialized fermentation machines. During this time, the garlic undergoes enzymatic and Maillard reactions, responsible for the dark colour and deep, complex flavours. The result is a soft, black clove encased in a papery skin.

Fermented garlic boasts a rich, multidimensional flavour profile. It's characterized by its sweet, molasses-like undertones, a hint of balsamic vinegar, and a subtle umami quality. The pungency and sharpness of fresh garlic are mellowed, making it a versatile ingredient that adds depth and complexity to a wide range of dishes. Its taste can be described as a harmonious blend of sweet, savoury, and earthy notes.

Black fermented garlic has found a place in gourmet kitchens around the world. Chefs and home cooks alike use it in various culinary applications. It can be finely chopped and incorporated into sauces, dressings, and marinades to impart a unique depth of flavour. It's a perfect accompaniment to cheeses, meats, and seafood and can even be spread on bread as a savoury condiment. Due to its soft texture, it's also a delightful addition to soups and stews.

Beyond its culinary appeal, fermented black garlic is gaining attention for its potential health benefits. It is believed to be richer in antioxidants than fresh garlic, may support immune and cardiovascular health, and has anti-inflammatory properties. Additionally, it is often easier to digest for those sensitive to raw garlic's sharpness.
