Can you tell us about the different stages involved in making black garlic?

Black garlic originated in the Aomori region of Japan. This ancestral know-how, now recognized the world over, transforms garlic into an exceptional product: black garlic. Fanny Boutarin worked the process with the organic white garlic variety produced by her brother-in-law Matthieu Begou. Her mastery has been officially recognized by the Grand Master of Aomori Black Garlic since 2019, making her an ambassador for Aomori Black Garlic.
Preparing the garlic on the bench is essential to making this exceptional black garlic. After harvesting in June, organic white garlic is ventilated for at least 20 days. It is then bleached, i.e. stripped of its roots and first skin. Maison Boutarin then sorts the heads of garlic to retain only the largest caliber for processing into black garlic.
Once sorted, the garlic heads are then placed in a special, unique low-temperature oven for 30 days. During this ripening phase, the sugars naturally contained in white garlic caramelize, giving the cloves their black color.
After ripening, a period of maturing is necessary. This stage allows the black garlic to concentrate all its aromas and reveal its character: aromatic notes of undergrowth, licorice, balsamic and candied fruit. A delicious umami flavor.

Why is black garlic a superfood?

Japanese studies conducted by Professor Jin Ichi Sasaki have demonstrated the exceptional virtues of black garlic.
Thanks to processing, the health benefits of white garlic are increased tenfold. Black garlic is rich in vitamins and minerals. It strengthens the immune system.
It is also a powerful antioxidant. Garlic is recognized as a superfood.

What do you think is the best way(s) to use black garlic?

There are many ways to use black garlic.
You can use it simply toasted on a roll for an aperitif, a few pieces on a tomato salad, in strips on a fish fillet, crushed in a vinaigrette or mayonnaise…
But also in more complex preparations such as black garlic shortbread, black garlic leg of lamb or black garlic cream to accompany meat, fish or pasta.
Certain aromatic notes of black garlic will come to the fore depending on the dish with which it is paired. For example, with a tomato salad, the balsamic vinegar aspect of black garlic will be more present. In an omelette, it’s the undergrowth that takes center stage.
