About Lorz Italian

A superb heirloom garlic brought to Washington State's Columbia River Basin in the early 1900s by the Lorz family when they emigrated from Italy. This flavorful softneck garlic has a robust, bold and spicy flavor that lingers in dishes. Try it in pasta or mashed potatoes, or simply roasted. Lorz Italian is very prolific: just one pound of cloves can yield 8-10 pounds of bulbs. The white bulbs, with occasional purple and brown streaks, are very large and have a slightly flattened shape. This mid-season garlic may be stored for 6-9 months. It averages seven large fat cloves in three clove layers, and usually has no small internal cloves.
