Umami – Black Garlic

Umami black garlic is a gourmet product that starts with Polesine white garlic PDO and is the result of a long process of maturation and natural fermentation, which can last more than a month. During fermentation, which takes place in special maturation cells at a constant and controlled temperature and humidity, the white garlic loses its strong, pungent flavor, its consistency becomes soft, and a licorice aftertaste is enhanced. In practice, this creates a unique and enveloping “umami flavor” reminiscent of balsamic vinegar or soy sauce.
