| Rocambole garlic - Spanish Roja |
Rocambole garlics are well known for their wonderful, robust,
well-rounded, true-garlic flavour. They have loose skins which
make them easy to peel. Bulbs can be large and characteristically
have 8 to 12 cloves. Given the right conditions, particularly
the right amount of water, the varieties we are offering produce
superb bulbs. All have reddish brown skins covering the individual
cloves. The bulb wrappers often have red, pink or purple stripes
when they are first harvested. If the scapes are left on to mature
Rocamboles typically produce 15 to 30 good sized bulbils. |

Note on Flavours
Please take our comments on flavour with a generous pinch
of salt. The apparent strength and flavour of a strain of
garlic is an individual perception. Different people under
the same circumstances can have diametrically opposed views
on the palatability and heat of a strain of garlic. |
