Here’s a breakdown of the provided text about Jade Avazeri and her black garlic business:

Who is Jade Avazeri?

A young woman, a student in technical marketing.
The sole producer of black garlic in Corsica.
The founder and driving force behind a business named after her.

The idea was born almost by chance.
Jade and her father discovered black garlic in a restaurant on the mainland.
They were curious and realized there was no black garlic producer in Corsica.
This curiosity sparked an ambition to offer this “rare and noble product” locally, aligning with Corsican consumption habits.

The black garlic is produced entirely in Lunguignani, a village in the town of Montegrossu.
It’s a demanding craft process.
It starts with organic white garlic.
The process involves:
Drying for about a dozen days.
Fermentation for 30 days in fermenters.
The slow fermentation is what turns the garlic black.Product Valorization and diversification:

Nothing is wasted.
The most lovely whole pods and heads are sold. They also produce and sell:
Dough
Powder
An elixir
A coulis

Recognized by the WHO as an “alicament” (a food with medicinal properties).
Antioxidant.
Good for the heart, brain, and hypertension.
Helps with stress.
Does not leave an unpleasant odor like conventional garlic as the allicin (responsible for the strong smell) is lost during fermentation.
Taste and Texture: Becomes soft, almost sweet, with balsamic notes. It can be consumed without fear, even for breakfast.

The production is highly organized, with each small chalet in Lunguignani having a specific function: storage, transformation, administration, and shop.
Jade is involved in all aspects of the business: depiating, preparing dough, drying powder, conditioning.
She is well-established in managing an agricultural TPE (très Petite Entreprise – Very Small Business).

Jade’s Dual Focus:

She is pursuing a 3rd-year technical marketing degree at the IUT of Corte.
She is leading the “Front Études et développement” (Studies and Growth Front) of her business.
She also validated a VAE (validation of acquired experience) to officially become a farmer.
This dual approach allows her to master the agricultural and transformation aspects while also learning to sell, create packaging, and manage interaction.

Sales Channels and Future Vision:

Products are available at the Lunguignani store.
They are also sold in several points of sale in Corsica (Bastia, Calvi).
An online store (ailnoircors.fr) allows access for the “diaspora” and international customers.
Jade’s goal is to introduce Corsican producers to the potential of black garlic in their own products (e.g., beer, honey, bread, ice cream).

Family Involvement and Taste Experiences:

Her family is actively involved in experimenting with black garlic in various dishes (tiramisu, chocolate mousse, ice cream).
Her father,Toussaint,highlights how people are surprised and “hallucinate” when they taste these creations,unable to believe garlic is an ingredient.
* He emphasizes that black garlic is a “taste of taste” (a flavor enhancer).

Overall Impression:

The text portrays Jade Avazeri as a forward-thinking,ambitious,and resourceful young entrepreneur. She has successfully identified a niche market, developed a high-quality artisanal product, and is strategically building her business with a strong focus on both production and marketing. Her passion for black garlic and it’s potential extends beyond her own business,aiming to inspire other Corsican producers.
