Aglio Rosso Garlic Bulbs - Organically Grown 2021

Description

Famous in the world of gourmets.
Red Sulmona Garlic (Aglio Rosso) is barely known outside the world of gourmets, renowned for its delicate taste without any hint of bitterness. Softneck variety.
A rich, musky mellow Garlic originally from southern Italy.
Harvests in early to mid summer - stores into spring.
Aglio Rosso ranks 6-8 on the garlickiness scale and 3-7 on the pungency side but gets hotter the longer it stores so it's milder in the fall medium in the winter and strong/hot in the spring. It has a rather rich, musky, earthy flavor and a noticeable bite, but is still on the light side most of the year but sharper in the spring.
Red Sulmona garlic can be used in both raw and cooked applications and is sliced, minced, pureed, or chopped to bring out the sweet, pungent flavors. It is traditionally sautéed and used in spaghetti aglio and olio e pepperoncino, two dishes that are ubiquitous with Italy. Red Sulmona garlic can be used in any application that calls for garlic but use sparingly for a light garlic flavor. It pairs well with pasta, crushed red pepper, olive oil, parsley, and parmesan. Red Sulmona garlic will keep for up to a year when stored whole in a cool and dry place. Cut garlic should be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
