Native to sunny Spain and cultivated from the semi-bolting Creole variety of garlic. 

Our most requested culinary garlic.

For this season, we will be able to supply a limited amount of seed with a bulb sizing of 50mm or larger, containing six or more plantable cloves.                                                                 

Planting.  We always plant ours in the middle of May in well-draining, stable (black) organic matter. This is one variety that does not like waterlogged, heavy soil with excessive amounts of nitrogen. High nitrogen levels, especially in the spring, can cause what some onion growers call bull necks, thick stems with small bulbs.  Planting depth should be 50mm from the top of the clove to the surface of the soil and a spacing of 150mm, then cover with mulch such as well-aged pine needles or ramial wood chips. Remove mulch before harvest.                                                        

Storage. This variety has now become our longest storing garlic, even outperforming the Silverskin variety. Proper storage is crucial for all types of garlic, requiring no direct sunlight, ample fresh air, and the coolest possible natural temperatures.  No refrigeration. We store all our garlic in an open-faced, barn-style shed.
