Carpathian
Carpathian garlic originates out of the Carpathian Mountains of Poland and is part of the Rocambole group of garlic varieties. For many, Rocambole garlic varieties are considered the finest, “top shelf” of all the hardneck garlic varieties. Carpathian is no exception and gained heightened attention when Cook’s Illustrated magazine chose it as one of their favorite garlic varieties. Carpathian is excellent tasting with a rich, strong, and sweet flavor.
Bulbs typically contain 8-10 large, easy-to-peel cloves with a few double cloves. Higher disease resistance compared to other Rocamboles. Carpathian garlic was tested and brought legally into the Idaho quarantine area by Sundries Farm in 2022.
