1 bulb of black garlic in a paper bag.
The exact origin of black garlic is not known . However, it is believed to have come from Asia, probably Korea, Thailand or Japan. It is not a special type of garlic but is made from regular white garlic through warm fermentation. During the fermentation process, the carbohydrates in the garlic are caramelized, or converted into sugar. A simultaneous Maillard reaction creates its dark color. Black garlic has a sweet and spicy flavor reminiscent of caramel, plum jam, fig balsamic vinegar, and vanilla. Its consistency is similar to a soft prune. The bulb contains garlic cloves that are softer and easier to spread, but also harder and more licorice-like, which can be sliced.
We ferment our homegrown garlic into black garlic. We enjoy eating it daily and find its flavor exceptional. We couldn't detect a "normal" garlic smell, which makes it a perfect snack.
We recommend our Black Garlic
- for refining sauces and dressings, such as aioli or tomato sauce
- as a sweet and spicy spread on bread
- with meat and fish dishes or as a grilled side dish
- Italian dishes such as pasta and pizza
- pure as a snack

What is important to us:
-
Garlic variety
We were amazed to discover how many different types of garlic have emerged around the world. We would also like to grow a small selection here on the Hochberg. That's why we test new, interesting varieties every year.
-
Biological Diversity
...is available in our garlic field. We do not use weed killers, insecticides or artificial fertilizers. We regulate the weeds mechanically...and that's actually hard work. Especially if you have to weed by hand. But as a reward for this we have a wonderful diversity of species!
-
Ingredients and quality
We only use organic ingredients, wherever possible from the region. We are also growers of Alb lentils ourselves. We get first-class cleaned lentils from the house next door as an ingredient for our lentil spreads. We purchase rapeseed oil from the Bauschatz organic farm nearby. Most of our products bear the Bioland logo and are strictly inspected annually by ABCert. Hygiene and quality assurance is carried out by the BAV INSTITUT. We are also a member of Slow Food Germany.

packaging and shipping
We work with an environmental printing company. The labels and leaflets are printed in an environmentally friendly way. The use of organic printing inks and organic varnishes based on renewable raw materials as well as suitable adhesives and additives also contribute to the conservation of resources. When shipping, we take great care to ensure that there is no waste, everything is made of paper.
