Rocambole garlic is a heritage hardneck garlic variety that is renowned for its rich, complex flavor and ease of peeling. Unlike the garlic sold in supermarkets, Rocambole garlic develops an earthy, rich flavor with a smooth heat that turns sweet and nutty when roasted. Gardeners appreciate this variety for its robust growth habit, unique curly scapes, and ability to produce bulbs in cooler regions. Each bulb has 6 to 11 large cloves that are encased in loose, papery skins that make kitchen preparation a breeze.
Rocambole garlic is perfect for roasting, sautéing, and making delicious sauces, and it is a popular choice among chefs and home cooks who appreciate authentic, robust garlic flavor. Harvested in mid-summer, it has moderate storage life and provides unparalleled culinary flavor in every dish.
