Fresh Vegetable
Dried Garlic Braid
Ref: GAR-01
Italian name: Trecce di Aglio
Weight order: 2-3 kg
Description: Italian garlic can easily be distinguished from other garlics by its appearance. Its solid bulb is almost uniformly rounded, the bulb contains a thick central scape and about six to eight plump cream colored cloves in relatively easy-to-peel skin. The cloves are aromatic, spicy, rich and bold in flavor, which only increases with maturity.
Season: all year round
Serving suggestion: Garlic is used for soups, side dishes, roast meat or sausages. It is only when garlic cloves are cut or crushed, and the cellular walls breached, that an odor-causing reaction takes place, as enzymes mix with volatile sulfur-containing compounds. Crushing, chopping, pressing or pureeing garlic releases more of its essential oils and provides a sharper, more assertive flavor than slicing or leaving it whole.
