Presented in its most natural form, this whole bulb of black garlic features cloves protected by their original husks. This "super-food" is the result of a precise artisanal process: fresh organic white garlic from the Gers region is slow-cooked in a steam room (the Maillard reaction) and then aged to perfection. The result is a soft, charcoal-colored garlic with a sweet, balsamic-like flavor and no lingering breath issues.
