It's caramelized garlic. Many believe black garlic is fermented garlic, but that is not true. Black garlic comes from a process of caramelizing whole bulbs of garlic in low heat over the course of several weeks. Raw garlic contains sugars and amino acids. When garlic undergoes the caramelization process, these elements produce melanoidin, a dark-colored substance that is responsible for the color of black garlic.
Black garlic has a taste that is uniquely sweet and savory. The strong and pungent flavor of raw garlic is transformed in the caramelization process. Black garlic pleases that palate with a sweet caramel-like flavor with a hint of balsamic vinegar. It has a soft, jelly-like texture that allows a melt-in-your mouth experience. It’s as delicious as it is unique.
