The Azienda Agricola Di Gaspare Luigi is nestled in the hills of Val Vibrata, near the Adriatic Sea in Italy.
This is where we grow exclusively only white garlic to turn it into black garlic so it is the original and true black garlic, it only comes from white garlic bulbs which have less allicin.
We do not use pesticides and chemical products but the processing phases are all done manually like in the old days, at the end we prepare the famous and beautiful braids to hang.
Black garlic is obtained through a fermentation process of white garlic, without the addition of additives and preservatives. During this process the garlic bulbs become dark black in color and a natural caramelization effect is created thanks to the formation of melanoidin, an antioxidant par excellence (Maillard reaction).
The segments take on a soft, gelatinous consistency, with a slightly sweet flavor with a salty note and an aftertaste that can recall that of liquorice, soy sauce and a scent similar to truffles.
