Black garlic butter
Black garlic butter is a popular food ingredient made from regular butter that has been mixed with black garlic. Black garlic itself is produced by fermenting regular garlic cloves for an extended period, resulting in a dark, rich, and sweet flavour. This ingredient comes from a plant source and is used in cooking to add a unique twist to dishes.
To make black garlic butter, the black garlic is finely chopped or mashed and blended thoroughly with softened butter. The process ensures that the distinctive taste of black garlic permeates the butter, creating a flavourful spread that can be used in various recipes. The result is a creamy and aromatic butter with a hint of sweetness from the black garlic.
This ingredient is often included in food labels for its rich umami flavour and depth it adds to dishes. It can be used in a variety of ways, such as spreading on bread, melting over vegetables, or adding to sauces and marinades. Black garlic butter can be found in products like flavoured popcorn, gourmet burgers, pasta dishes, or even used as a tasty topping for grilled steak.
