Description
Allium sativum
This garlic variety hails from Italy, boasts a sweet yet mild flavor profile, and produces medium and large bulbs that nicely fill out a garlic braid. Due to its mild, authentic garlic flavor, Italian is a long-time favorite of gardeners and chefs.
The heads yield large outer cloves, which are easy to peel and, once peeled, reveal cloves with a lavender tint. This is another super variety for braiding and displaying in the kitchen.
Italian tends to harvest earlier than other varieties if you are growing garlic and are interested in a staggered harvest.
Early Italian averages 8-14 cloves per bulb and 5-10 bulbs per pound.
