Being a talking point in the kitchen when guests come over
Peeled Black Garlic Cloves
Ready when you are. No peeling. No mess. Just pure flavour.
Our peeled cloves offer all the intensity of the bulb without the prep. Slightly sticky, ultra-convenient and totally snackable (trust us). Keep a pack in the fridge and reach for them whenever you want a quick burst of flavour.
Perfect for:
Tossing into sauces, stews, or roasts
Elevating your cheese and crackers game
Sneaking a fridge snack, guilt-free
Black Garlic Paste
Bold flavour in one easy spoonful.
Our paste is smooth, rich and effortlessly spreadable. It’s the go-to if you want maximum flavour with zero effort. Great for quick weeknight meals or elevating your go-to sauces.
Perfect for:
Swirling into risottos, hummus, soups and mayo
Rubbing onto meats or veggies before roasting
Making dressings, marinades, or dipping sauces in seconds
