Caprese Salad with Caramelised Black Garlic Paste

What is Black Garlic? You are not alone in wondering.

Black garlic is fresh raw garlic that changes with time through the use of low heat and humidity of about 70% in a process called the Maillard reaction. During this process, the cloves turn a distinct black colour. The garlic’s texture and flavour change as well. It’s softer, chewier, and sweeter than regular raw garlic. 


The Noosa Black Garlic range is produced using local spray-free Elephant garlic, grown using organic-farming practices. Sourced directly from a farmer in the pristine Noosa hinterland.


Noosa Black Garlic, Whole Garlic Cloves & Caramelised Black Garlic Paste are:


  • Rich in protective nutrients 
  • Vegan, naturally gluten-free, no added preservatives, artificial colours or flavours
