The condiment in question is a combination of Arbequina olive oil and black garlic that offers a mild, highly aromatic flavour. Black garlic comes from Japan but is produced here, and is milder than normal white garlic. Its natural fermentation causes it to lose its strong odour and develop a delicious flavour, also known as umami.
It has the same beneficial properties as white garlic, such as antioxidant, antibiotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Black garlic olive oil is widely used in professional cooking and has health benefits such as lowering cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar levels, as well as having an energising effect.
This oil has a pronounced garlic and liquorice flavour, making it ideal for flavouring chocolate or cocoa emulsions, as well as for accompanying bitter vegetables such as asparagus, chicory or turnip tops.
