This black shallot is crafted through a slow maceration process using only gentle heat and natural moisture retention. The result is a deep, glossy black color and a silky, melt-in-the-mouth texture. During this transformation, the shallot’s natural sugars are fully revealed, creating a beautifully concentrated aromatic profile. On the palate, it offers rich, layered flavors with almost balsamic confit notes, complemented by elegant hints of dried plum and apricot. Delicately fragrant, round, and harmonious, with a long, refined finish. Culinary applications An exquisite pairing with smoked or dried fish, beef carpaccio, foie gras, and scallops. Ideal for enhancing cold preparations, amuse-bouches, and refined starters, adding depth and complexity to sophisticated dishes.
