Firms join forces for UK black garlic
Last month Leathams partnered with the Black Garlic firm to become the UK's exclusive distribution partner for black garlic. This is gently aged white garlic that takes on a new colour, taste and texture.
The product was initially imported from South East Asia, until production moved to the UK in May 2012. Black Garlic sources premium quality white garlic from its Global Gap approved farms in Spain, and ages the product in its bespoke ovens in Bedfordshire.
Black Garlic's Bruce Isaacs says: "Working in partnership with Leathams gives our company the perfect platform to introduce our unique product to all sectors of the food industry.
"As the UK's only producer of black garlic, we have won popularity with Michelin-starred chefs, food lovers and novice cooks alike."
Black Garlic will now be available in whole bulbs, as peeled cloves, and as a paste.
