2024 PRE-ORDER 'Spanish Red' Culinary/Table Garlic [$26/LB]

‘SPANISH RED’ CREOLE GARLIC

FLAVOR PROFILE: peppery and hot, tamed by roasting or sautéing.

APPEARANCE/WRAPPER: pinkish white wrapper.

 STORAGE/LIFE: 8-10 months.

 ‘Spanish Red’ is a spicy Creole variety of garlic whose fiery flavor can be tamed by roasting or sautéing. Genetically a weak-bolting softneck, ‘Spanish Red’ will behave like a hardneck in northern zones. The bulbs have pinkish white wrappers and about 8-12 well-formed cloves. Spanish Red does well in warmer climates and needs to be grown in full sun with very well-drained soil that is kept free of weeds. This variety stores longer than any other garlic we have ever grown, around 8-10 months when kept in a cool, dry place. ‘Spanish Red’ takes longer to mature and is usually harvested a full month later than other varieties, but it is well worth the wait.

Fiery, intense flavor that is tamed with roasting or sautéing. Long shelf life. Easily grown in southern climates.

All garlic sold by Big Elk Garlic Farm is a perishable food item that is naturally dried using only sunlight and air. It needs to be stored properly until use in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight.
