? Understand everything about the types of garlic: hardneck, porcelain, rocambole… ?

Under their white, mauve or coppery skins, cultivated garlic hides an astonishing diversity! They are often classified into two main families: hardneck garlic and softneck garlic , with subcategories as pretty as their names: porcelain , rocambole , turbans , etc. Here is a little guide to help you find your way around:

?? Hardneck garlic: the hardy ones of the North

These garlics have a rigid flower stem in the center of the bulb. They are best suited to cool climates , very hardy, and often have large, well-formed cloves around the heart. They include:

• Porcelain garlic (like Duganski): few cloves (4 to 6), very large, firm flesh, excellent storage , strong aroma. White or purple bulbs.

• Rocambole garlic : complex flavor, thinner skin, keeps a little less long but is more subtle in cooking .

• Purple or mauve garlic : beautiful ridged skin, rich aroma, often spectacular bulbs.
  ?? Special feature : they produce a garlic flower (flower stalk), edible, to be harvested young as a delicacy.

?? Softneck garlic: the classics of the South

Without a rigid central stem, these garlics form a bulb that is often richer in cloves and smaller in size. Ideal for mild climates , they braid easily and store well. They sometimes have a milder flavor , perfect for everyday cooking.

• Examples: White garlic from Lomagne , pink garlic from Lautrec , pink garlic from Auvergne

• Perfect for spring or fall planting in warmer regions.

?? And in the garden?
Hardneck garlic is best planted in the fall ; it is more hardy and its flowering (the famous garlic flower) is a little culinary bonus. Softneck garlic is more flexible when it comes to planting, but does not like long winters.

?? A little natural magic : whatever the type, if you leave a few bulbs in place, they will multiply from year to year . A true companion culture, faithful and generous.
