Crafted from Voghiera PDO garlic in Emilia‑Romagna, Nero Fermento Black Garlic Paste is made by slowly fermenting whole garlic bulbs under carefully controlled heat and humidity. This traditional, natural process transforms fresh garlic into black garlic, developing deep umami flavor, natural sweetness, and a soft, spreadable texture—without additives, caramelization, or artificial processing.
Once fermented, the garlic is gently blended into a smooth paste that is intensely savory yet remarkably mellow. The result is a versatile condiment that delivers complexity and depth without the sharp bite of raw garlic. Rich in aroma and naturally aged in flavor, this paste reflects both innovation and respect for Italian agricultural tradition, protected under the Voghiera PDO designation.
