Discover a Japanese-fermented treasure

Our Black Garlic 7 oz (200 g) from Aomori Farm brings a unique blend of tradition, flavor, and versatility. Starting from Fukuchi White Six Cloves—a premier Japanese garlic variety known for large, clean flesh—the bulbs undergo a careful fermentation of about 60 days. The result is a glossy black bulb with a soft, chewy texture and a sweet, dried fruit–like taste that can be enjoyed straight from the bulb or incorporated into a wide range of recipes.
