A superb cultiver! This variety was gifted to me by a dear friend (who is responsible for sparking my passion for growing garlic) and it has simply been my favorite garlic ever since. A very reliable and vigorous strain with large bulbs, very large plump cloves, and is quite majestic if allowed to form a scape (flower stalk) in the garden; sometimes reaching seven feet. This VERY popular market variety is highly sought after by chefs who appreciate the very large and fat cloves when it is time to peel them. An excellent cultivar for beginner garlic growers. A sweet and substantial garlic when baked, can be very hot when consumed raw.
A note on garlic for medicinal purposes: As you may well know, garlic is chock-full of medicinal and healing properties. However, you might not know that the garlic family called porcelains (Music is in this family) have been found to contain the highest amount of allicin which is what gives garlic its medicinal properties. Keep in mind that allicin oxidizes within 15 minutes of cutting open a clove, so you need to work fast to get the strongest medicinal properties available.
