Black Garlic Dark Balsamic Vinegar
Tasting Notes
Imagine a bold, umami-rich condiment that marries the deep, caramelized sweetness of slowly fermented black garlic with the tangy complexity of aged balsamic vinegar, creating a velvety, molasses-like elixir with layers of savory depth. Enjoy a mellow, almost licorice-like sweetness with bright acidity and subtle tannic structure.
