What is Black Garlic Oil?

Black garlic oil is crafted by infusing Australian extra virgin olive oil with the delicate flavour of aged black garlic cloves.

Black garlic Oil Taste

Black garlic extra virgin olive oil offers a complex flavour profile. Try to imagine hints of balsamic vinegar, caramel, and tamarind with a whisper of molasses-like sweetness. Combined with the fruity, peppery notes of extra virgin olive oil makes a velvety, luxurious infusion with a delicate sweetness to it.

Black Garlic Infused Oil

Black garlic infused oil is renowned for its health benefits, particularly for heart health. Extra virgin olive oil is rich in monounsaturated fats, which can help reduce bad cholesterol levels and lower the risk of heart disease. It also contains antioxidants like oleocanthal, which have anti-inflammatory properties, and polyphenols that can improve artery function.

The RDI is roughly 1 tablespoon (15 ml). This amount can easily be incorporated into your diet by using it as a salad dressing, drizzling it over dishes, or cooking with it at low to medium temperatures. Remember, while extra virgin olive oil is healthy, it’s also calorie-dense, so it’s best consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
