Ashy Black Garlic Salt

Ashy Black Garlic Salt is a premium culinary condiment, masterfully crafted to elevate the flavor profile of a wide range of dishes. This unique seasoning blend combines the rich, umami depth of black garlic with the crisp, mineral essence of high-quality salt. Black garlic, known for its complex and slightly sweet taste, is created through a careful aging process where traditional garlic transforms, acquiring a deep black color and a sticky, date-like texture. When combined with salt, it results in a harmonious blend that adds not just flavor but also a touch of exotic elegance to any meal.

It enhances the taste of meats, imparts a distinct richness to vegetarian dishes, and can be a secret ingredient in sauces and marinades. The ashy hue of the salt offers a visually striking appearance, making it a great finishing touch on plated dishes. This condiment is not only a testament to culinary innovation but also pays homage to traditional seasoning techniques, making it a must-have for both professional chefs and home cooking enthusiasts who appreciate depth and quality in their ingredients.
