I made this recipe with regular garlic and it was fantastic. There are a lot of strong flavors in here, but they meld together beautifully. I used a mortar and pestle instead of a food processor, so the spread was rather chunky, not smooth. We ate it with homemade pitas and it was quickly devoured...my 11 year old begged me to make more soon. – WinnieAb

Wow. I just mast this for a cocktail party I am having this evening as I finally found black garlic in a Philly market last weekend. The layers of flavors in this paste are really astounding! Thanks.

Hi, I got my black garlic at a huge store (wholesalers) where I live in the Netherlands. http://blackgarlic.com has details of 'where to buy', including online purchases.
