Dear MIGROS
I have a product suggestion.
Do you know black garlic? This is garlic that is traditionally fermented in Spain. With this method, the garlic loses its pungency, its ability to "scent" the breath and its aggressiveness towards people who cannot tolerate garlic.
It also promotes all the healthy properties of garlic.
I have always bought this in specialist shops, but I could imagine that many other MIGROS customers would also be interested.
What would it be like to discuss the introduction of black garlic and possibly start a trial? Of course, it would have to be organic, as I suspect that customers from this sector would be particularly interested.
Thank you :)

Thank you very much for your culinary suggestion.
I'll be happy to pass the idea on...
Have a nice day

Hello HirschiS
That sounds interesting. I've only ever tried smoked garlic, which I found disappointing. Good smell, but almost no smoky taste.
I would like to try the fermented one.

If you are from Züruch, you can buy it in Altstetten in the organic food store(www.derbioladen.ch). It tastes a bit like balsamic vinegar with a slight hint of garlic. You can eat it as it is or cook with it like any other garlic.
Here is an article from Galileo:

Hello HirschiS
Our product manager has already replied and written to me:
We also know this product and have had it on sale several times. Unfortunately, awareness of this garlic is very low, so it remains a niche product and many customers don't know exactly what to do with it. For these reasons, sales were very low and a large proportion of the garlic could not be sold. So we decided to take it out of the range again - but that doesn't mean it will never come back.
So we have to be patient and maybe, with a bit of luck....
Kind regards, Kathrin
Hi
I'm currently in Australia, where "black garlic" is used regularly - and I'm totally thrilled with the product! As has already been written, it is not as aggressive as fresh garlic, and the slight sweetness and acidity (somewhat reminiscent of tamarind!) even makes black garlic interesting for dessert dishes. I would definitely welcome a promotion for this apparently very healthy product!

Hello @derecha2
I have gladly forwarded your request to the responsible department!
At the moment, awareness of this product is still not very high. However, we will keep an eye on it and have made a note of your request
Have a nice day!
Best regards
Elena
Thank you, Elena. I always keep an eye on the "news", I will certainly notice if the product is ever introduced. (In the meantime, I have found out that it is available in Zurich from a well-known delicatessen ;-)).

Why don't you tryCoop? I'm sure they'll be more receptive to your product suggestion.
BTW: More and more people in my circle of acquaintances are switching to Coop. Why is that?
