Blackball Black Garlic: 'We can't keep up with demand'

Sam Weston and Wayne Hanright are the founders of Blackball Black Garlic - one of only two producers of black garlic in the country. After two years in business, they say they cannot keep up with demand. Black garlic takes five weeks to make, and they produce it in 70-kilogram batches. Sam and Wayne say black garlic has a sweet flavour with a savory aftertaste, and is a great condiment in many dishes. They join Kathryn from the West Coast town of Blackball.
