EMPATHY Black Garlic Puree 200g

Discover the "Umami Bomb" of the culinary world with Empathy Black Garlic Puree. This luxurious paste is created through a meticulous, months-long process of aging whole organic garlic bulbs at controlled heat and humidity. This natural fermentation transforms the sharp, pungent bite of raw garlic into a soft, spreadable texture with a complex flavor profile reminiscent of balsamic vinegar, tamarind, and dark chocolate. Ready to use straight from the jar, this puree is an effortless way to add gourmet depth and a significant antioxidant boost to any dish.

Product Details & Benefits

• Complex Flavour Profile: Offers a rich, sweet-savoury taste that is much mellower than white garlic, making it perfect for those who find raw garlic too intense or difficult to digest.
• Antioxidant Powerhouse: The aging process doubles the antioxidant levels of regular garlic and creates S-Allyl-Cysteine (SAC), a potent compound that supports cardiovascular health and immune function.
• Natural Energy & Vitality: Traditionally used to support healthy circulation and blood pressure levels without the lingering "garlic breath" associated with raw cloves.
• Kitchen Convenience: The smooth, consistent puree saves you the time of peeling and mashing, blending instantly into sauces, dressings, and butters.
• Pure & Clean: Made with 100% aged garlic—no added sugars, preservatives, or artificial colours.
• Versatile Dietary Fit: Naturally vegan, gluten-free, and keto-friendly.

How to Use

• Gourmet Spreads: Stir into mayonnaise or aioli for a stunning black garlic dip, or spread directly onto toasted sourdough with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Glazes & Marinades: Whisk into balsamic glazes for roasted meats, or mix with maple syrup and soy sauce for a rich glaze on salmon or tofu.
• Pasta & Risotto: Stir a teaspoon into your finished pasta or risotto just before serving to add an earthy, savoury "black truffle" depth.
• Compound Butter: Fold the puree into softened salted butter to create a restaurant-quality topping for seared steaks or grilled corn.
• Cheese Boards: Pairs exceptionally well with aged cheddar, goat cheese, or creamy brie for a unique addition to your charcuterie spread.

Storage Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place. Once opened, keep refrigerated to maintain the delicate flavor and freshness. Ensure the lid is tightened after each use; because it is a natural product, the sugars can cause the lid to stick if not kept clean.

Ingredients

Chef's Tip: A little goes a long way. Start with a small amount and build the flavor; the sweetness of black garlic can subtly transform a dish from ordinary to extraordinary.
