Where to buy Black Garlic?

[bg_27]

Anyone know where to purchase some Black Garlic in Calgary? I heard that the Bite store in Inglewood carries some, just wanted to see if there was anywhere else.

Black garlic is fantastic. The flavour is very rich, reminding me of balsamic reduction. It can be a very versatile ingredient, appealing to many flavour profiles to add extra notes. Most of all, your diners probably aren't very familiar with it, so it will be interesting to watch them guess what you put in your dish.

Sobeys at Shawnessy has some as does Bite in Inglewood.

Saw some yesterday at the designer Sobeys on Southland. I think it was five bucks for two very small heads.

If anyone is looking for this in YEG/Edmonton, I bought two heads in a bag for $4.95 at the downtown Sobeys yesterday. Can't wait to make hummus with it.

I saw it at the Italian Center South last week in Edmonton. Sorry didnt think to look at the price :(

I really can't see this in hummus. Think raisins rather than roasted garlic.

[Scary Bill]

Roasted and black garlic are different beasts. And roasted garlic hummus is great actually-there is some in my fridge as I write.

Not sure why you are telling me this as I have some black garlic on my counter but glad you agree with me, Scary Bill. :-)

Ahh, my mistake, I did not catch your drift first read. LOL, I thought you were suggesting raisins in hummus, not "like raisins". Not enough sleep last night, shar.

I had it about a month or so ago, topping a nice piece of poached halibut at the Sorrentino's location in downtown Edmonton.

It is "interesting". Not sure how precisely to describe it as I suspect many would describe it differently. Definitely did not taste of garlic. Moist, dense almost "fruity"...currants, date..some sweetness.

I bought it at Bite, love it.
