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.

Seed Garlic preorders are now available and will ship the first week of October.

Orders for seed packets should be placed separately from seed garlic if you would like them shipped immediately.
