Homestead Black Garlic

Deep, rich, naturally sweet - garlic transformed.

Our Black Garlic starts with whole garlic and is slowly fermented right here at Homestead. Over time, the cloves transform from sharp and pungent to dark, soft and incredibly flavourful, developing a naturally sweet and savoury taste with notes of balsamic + molasses.

The result is a completely different garlic experience - mellow, complex and delicious without the sharp bite of fresh garlic.

Why Black Garlic?

Black garlic isn't just loved for its unique flavour. The fermentation process changes the naturally occurring compounds found in fresh garlic and increases certain antioxidant compounds, including S-allyl cysteine (SAC).

Black garlic has been studied for its antioxidant properties and continues to attract interest as a functional food,  making it an easy way to bring both incredible flavour and a nutrient-rich whole food into your everyday meals.
