Garlic . Spanish Roja

Hard-neck. Heirloom. A rocambole type known for its seductive depth of flavor, this garlic receives accolades for taste again and again. Flavor is strong and spicy, but not the hottest. Thin bulb wrappers make Spanish Roja easy to peel, but like all rocamboles, it’s not as good a long-term storage variety. Needs a cold winter; doesn’t grow well in southern climates. Cloves per bulb: 8-9. Cloves per lb: 40-50.
