Voghiera D.O.P. Black Garlic has an ancient and fascinating history intertwined with the culinary tradition of the Emilia-Romagna region in Italy. Its origin traces back to the fertile alluvial soils of the Po River delta, where it was traditionally cultivated. This type of garlic became famous for its unique fermentation process, which contributes to its characteristic dark coloring and distinct flavor. During fermentation, the garlic undergoes a transformation that makes it sweeter, softer, and more aromatic than fresh garlic. This delicate processing requires time and attention, but it is precisely this process that sets Voghiera D.O.P. Black Garlic apart from other garlic types on the market. Another unique feature is that only high-quality salt from the Cervia salt pans is used.
