Additional Information
Rocambole Garlic, hardneck type
Produces 5–13 medium-large cloves with tan, brown or reddish skins, slightly loose and relatively easy-peeling. A shorter shelf life than Porcelains, maybe because the clove skins are looser, or because of a slight tendency to split cloves. Generally, stores well through February, and—if really cured well and in optimal storage—can store months longer. Some claim Rocamboles have the finest, richest flavor.
Scapes form tight coils. Forms 8–25 bulbils, the size of peas; skins can be tight, but otherwise good cooking. More variation in cloves per pound than other classes.
Seed Garlic
The bulb size, the skin color, the flavor, and the size and number of cloves are partly determined by genetics, and partly by cultural practices, soil and weather.
Our standard for a seed garlic bulb is a minimum 2" diameter. Every lot of garlic we ship has tested negative for garlic bloat nematode and for white rot.
