Smoked Black garlic is a product of ageing regular garlic bulbs over the course of weeks or months, which requires strictly regulated temperature and humidity to achieve the perfect consistency and colour. The change in color is caused by the Maillard reaction. In short, it is a process of a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that gives browned food its distinctive flavour. Such as, the browning of various meats when seared or grilled, coffee roasting and the browning and umami taste in fried onions.
In this particular Maillard process, it’s a fresh raw garlic that changes with time through the use of low heat and humidity of about 70%. During this process, the cloves turn a distinct black colour which gives off the name of black garlic. Not just that, it’s texture and flavour change as well. It is softer, chewier, and sweeter than regular white garlic.
Then it goes to smoking process in young bamboo with bark-free woods for a long time to get its mineral content as well as deep dark colour and smoky aroma.
