Sicilian Softneck Certified Organic Garlic Bulbs

Description

Sicilian Softneck Certified Organic Garlic Bulbs

Sicilian Softneck Certified Organic Garlic Bulbs are a classic Mediterranean artichoke variety, prized for their early maturation, reliable yields, and excellent storage life. Originating from the warm soils of Italy, this premium seed garlic is exceptionally well-adapted for southern growers, yet remains surprisingly hardy for northern climates. Sicilian produces beautiful, multi-sized cloves with creamy-white wrappers that are perfect for braiding. In the kitchen, it offers a traditional, mild garlic flavor and a smooth, savory depth when sautéed or roasted. Because it produces numerous easy-to-peel cloves, it is an essential, high-yielding “workhorse” variety for home cooks and market gardeners who value consistency, versatility, and long-storing quality.

Note:

Garlic is an agricultural crop that is subject to crop loss due to conditions beyond our control. This can even occur in the curing stage. We check each bulb before shipping them to you. If there are any quality issues, we may need to substitute a similar variety. We rarely need to do this, but it does occasionally happen. As always, we want to you to receive great garlic, so please leave a comment when ordering to let us know how you would like to proceed if a substitution is necessary.
