This garlic variety came to us described as Spanish Roja, a Rocambole, but like many strains of this type, we've determined it is in fact a turban. It has large bulbs with approximately 8-10 big easy-peel cloves per bulb. Cooked flavor is sweet and spicy, making it a delicious roaster. Easy to grow, with early harvest, but stores reliably until winter. Red Spanish Turban has been a customer favorite for many years on the farm, in the garden, and in the kitchen.
Since 1991, every season is full of abundance at Whistling Duck Farm, from winter cold-frames full of sweet succulent greens to springtime field plantings, summer harvests and fall feasting. We grow an abundance of fruits and vegetables for our farm store, local markets and wholesale accounts, as well as to supply our Farm Kitchen and Fermentaria. Our seed garlic ships to farmers and gardeners throughout the country, and vegetable seeds we grow on contract are available through many sites.
