How is black garlic produced? 

To make this unique product, fresh garlic cloves are used, which are packed in a special cooking bag and then placed in a steel box to prevent overheating. The cooking process takes place in an oven with controlled humidity and temperature: This removes the plant's superfluous sulphur compounds, which are responsible for the intense garlic smell. During this fascinating process, which takes three to four weeks, the cloves gradually take on the characteristic dark color and delicate texture of black garlic, while its delicious aroma and sweet taste develop. Once the "cooking time" is complete, the heads are removed from the bags and left to dry for a further 2 to 3 days.
