AMEFRUITS SL

The Ajo Negro of the producer AMEFRUITS is one of the most famous products in the field of black garlic. The basis for the black garlic here is exclusively the purple garlic from Las Pedroñeras.

Many gourmet restaurants all over the world work with AMEFRUITS products – especially those from the excellent black garlic. AMEFRUITS is one of the most renowned driving forces behind the popularity of black garlic in Europe.

We were lucky that Francisco Giménez Imbernón of AMEFRUITS Marketing provided us with some samples of their products, which has been highly praised by chefs.
