What is black garlic? Regular garlic heads are aged until the cloves turn black and develop a smooth, sticky texture that’s similar to roasted garlic. This happens by allowing the bulbs to sit for a few weeks in a humid setting at a low temperature, which facilitates flavor-creating chemical reactions as the amino acids and naturally-present sugars ferment. The distinct black color comes from the production of a compound called melanoidin. As for the flavor of black garlic? You can expect an earthy, umami packed flavor that’s more mellow than raw or cooked garlic—meaning you may like it even if the traditional variety typically turns you away.
