FAQ

How does Neudorf Black Garlic Essence compare to the Neudorf Black Garlic Olive Oil for culinary use?

Neudorf Black Garlic Essence offers a pure, undiluted liquid umami, ideal for direct flavour enhancement in dressings or marinades. It is black in colour and has the consistency of a thin soy sauce. In contrast, Neudorf Black Garlic Olive Oil provides a milder, aromatic black garlic flavour within a versatile oil base, perfect for finishing dishes and salads or for light sautéing.

Well - I thought that it was sweet & brown

Well - I thought that it was sweet & brown. - NOT very garlicy.

Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that our Black Garlic Essence did not meet your expectations. Black Garlic has a different flavour profile to regular, raw garlic - and yes, the Black Garlic Essence is naturally sweeter, and dark golden brown in colour. We hope you will give us another chance in the future. Thank you for trying our product.
