Nubia Garlic – 5 bulbs

Red garlic from Nubia – Braid of 5 heads

The authentic aroma of Trapani tradition

Each bulb grows in the dark, clay-rich soil of Nubia (Trapani) and is harvested in late spring, then naturally dried and hand-braided. The outer skins are white, while the inner cloves take on a bright red hue – the distinctive hallmark of this variety. Thanks to its high allicin content, it boasts an intense, above-average aromatic profile that withstands long cooking times and retains great character even when eaten raw.

This large braid ensures uniform bulb size and practical use: cloves can be removed as needed while the rest remains protected. In the kitchen, it shines in sautés and finely chopped preparations, emulsions for raw seafood, mortar-made sauces, pan-fried vegetables, and grilled meats. In traditional Trapani recipes, it delivers both heritage and culinary depth without overpowering the other ingredients.
