At Mad River Garlic Growers, we pride ourselves with this unique garlic, ensuring that each bulb carries all the value and flavor that garlic cognoscenti will want.
What Makes Spanish Roja Garlic Special?
Spanish Roja is classified as a hardneck garlic from the Rocambole category. Considered an heirloom garlic, it has usually been getting some repute for its splashy, somewhat spicy flavor coupled with an almost sweet undertone. Each bulb contains about 8-12 large cloves that are easy to peel, which the culinary professionals and home cooks alike cherish. The cloves are wrapped in slightly streaked skins of colors oscillating between cream and deep purple, which dress up their attractiveness for culinary purposes.
This variety grows well in cool climates and is often planted in the fall to mature by mid-summer. It is a favorite among serious growers and gourmet chefs for its dependable yields and elegant growth habit. Spanish Roja Garlic is known for its outstanding flavor and reliable storage qualities, offering an unparalleled garlic experience from plantation to plate.
