Winter garlic "MUZIC"

Allium sativum var ophioscorodon subvar porcelain

Music is one of the world's most popular Porcelain type hardneck garlic varieties, distinguished by its large, snow-white heads and massive, easy-to-peel cloves. It is famous for its sweet-spicy flavor, excellent aroma, and outstanding winter hardiness, making it one of the most reliable varieties in northern climates.

Music is a high-quality premium garlic favored by both professional growers and gourmet chefs. The variety produces a small number of cloves, but each clove is large, juicy, and contains a particularly high amount of allicin.

History

The Music garlic was introduced to Canada in the late 20th century by Al Music, a farmer of Italian origin who brought the variety from Europe and began its selection in the Ontario region. Thanks to its excellent winter hardiness and large heads, Music quickly became one of the most popular Porcelain varieties in North America.

Over time, Music also found its way into European and Scandinavian gardens, where it adapted perfectly to cold northern conditions and became the “premium quality standard” in the Porcelain garlic category.
