In the Serious Eats-Gilt Taste Holiday Shop: Mikuni Wild Harvest Black Garlic
Editor's note: The Gilt Taste-Serious Eats Holiday Gift Shop features all sorts of products that the Serious Eats editors love, brought to you by Gilt Taste. Every day we'll be featuring a different item from the gift shop.
Any garlic lover who hasn't experienced the sweet, funky taste of black garlic is missing out. As Erin Mosbaugh wrote on Slice, it's "garlic that has undergone a month long fermentation, during which it transforms into black nuggets with a soft, chewy consistency and a concentrated, sweet, umami flavor with hints of balsamic vinegar." The fermentation makes it taste mellow and less harsh than the raw stuff, but much more complex; a flavor to showcase rather than just back up onions and olive oil. A little goes a long way.
