Hardneck Rocambole Garlic

This Hardneck type produces 5–13 medium-large cloves with tan, brown or reddish skins, slightly loose and relatively easy-peeling. A shorter shelf life than Porcelains, maybe because the clove skins are looser, or because of a slight tendency to split cloves. Generally, stores well through February, and—if well cured and in optimal storage—can store months longer. Some claim Rocamboles have the finest, richest flavor.

Scapes form tight coils. Forms 8–25 bulbils, the size of peas. 45–65 cloves/lb
