Black garlic. Mythical, avant -garde and incredibly luxurious. It isn’t simply garlic with an edgy name - it’s a culinary alchemist’s dream. Deeply umami, hints of molasses, aged balsamic and even hints of dark chocolate, black garlic offers a rare complexity that is refined and borderline addictive.
It doesn’t shout; it murmurs luxuriously across the palate, adding richness without stealing the limelight. The texture? Silky and soft. The flavour? A balance of sweet and savoury that feels purpose-built for the modern gourmand.
When time, temperature and technique meet patience, black garlic is the gleaming reward. At the forefront of the artful transformation is Black Garlic & Co. - a family-owned and operated outfit in Sorrento, Western Australia. Made from organic garlic sourced from local producers, we’ve been lucky enough to round up the top 5 products you need in your larder.
Aged Black Garlic Asian Concentrate
Aromatic. Complex. Intrinsically umami.
This is your culinary shortcut to depth. A powerhouse blend of tamarind, cloves, star anise, pepper, ginger, Jarrah honey and, of course, black garlic. It’s umami in a bottle. Use it to supercharge marinades, stir-fries, noodle broths or rice dishes. A bold, flavour-rich base that makes even midweek meals taste like something out of a Chef’s tasting menu.
Aged Black Garlic & Jarrah Honey Balsamic Vinegar
Award-winning. Handcrafted. Intensely balanced.
Starting with a premium Merlot-based balsamic, this bottle gets the royal
treatment - infused for a full month with locally-sourced Jarrah honey and
the signature aged black garlic. The result? A velvety, balanced elixir that is
as at home drizzled over roasted vegetables as it is lifting a simple salad to
sublime new heights. Utterly versatile. Dangerously addictive.
Gold-standard. Sweet-meets-savoury. A flavour bomb in every bulb.
Grown in the fertile soils of Margaret River, these organic garlic bulbs undergo a week-long Maillard reaction, transforming into a black garlic masterpiece. Each clove is hand-peeled for purity and perfection. Think balsamic reduction meets roasted plum - pop them whole, slice into risotto or blend into aioli. These are not just cloves, they’re conversation starters in a jar.
Fragrant. Fruity. Finish-worthy.
Western Australian extra virgin olive oil meets its match with the infusion of aged black garlic from Margaret River. The result is an oil with freshness up front, a peppery mid-palate and a lingering, umami-rich finish. Drizzle it over grilled fish, dress your burrata, or finish a wood-fired pizza. This isn’t just a bottle of oil. It’s sheer elegance in liquid form.
Aged Black Garlic & Cherry Paste
Multi-award winning. Silken. Sweetly seductive.
The unlikely but irresistible marriage of rich Maragaret River cherries and black garlic creates a paste that hits all the right notes - sweet, savoury, tangy and seductive. Think a splash of acidic balsamic and a texture that melts on the tongue. The ultimate companion to a cheeseboard, the versatility of this condiment doesn’t stop there. It shines on toast, sings with desserts and elevates everything from cheesecake to charcuterie. This absolutely is the dark horse in your pantry.
