History and origins of Voghiera D.O.P. Black Garlic

Voghiera D.O.P. Black Garlic has an ancient and fascinating history, interwoven with the culinary tradition of the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Its origins go back to the fertile alluvial soils of the Po Delta, where it was traditionally cultivated. This type of garlic has become famous for its unique fermentation process, which contributes to its characteristic dark colour and unique flavour. During fermentation, the garlic undergoes a transformation that makes it sweeter, softer and more aromatic than fresh garlic. This delicate process requires time and attention, but it is precisely this process that distinguishes Voghiera D.O.P. Black Garlic from other types of garlic on the market. Another peculiarity is that the producer uses only high quality salt from the Cervia salt marshes.
