Carpathian came from the mountains of the same name in Southeast Poland. A member of the Rocambole family and one of the best of the type. Carpathian pulls easily with no need for loosening the soil, making it one of Farragut Farm's favorites for commercial production. It's a reliable producer of large bulbs that divide into 6 to 10 nice sized and easy to peel cloves, rarely producing double cloves. Known for good heat and spice that lingers but mellows with cooking, sweet when roasted. Carpathian gained popularity when Cook's Illustrated magazine's America Test Kitchen named it among their favorite cultivars.
Rocambole garlic is a type of hardneck and one of the most widely grown garlic families. It is known for having a deep, rich, complex flavor and is often the first choice of chefs.

FROM THE GROWERS
This Farragut Farm garlic seed is propagated from bulbils, the small aerial cloves produced by a mature garlic scape. Each bulbil is grown out for two years before it is harvested as a full size, seed quality bulb. Seed garlic grown out from bulbils has the distinct advantage that it is more likely to be free of soil borne diseases.
Place the end where the cloves was attached to the bulb down 2-3" deep . Mulch with 1-3" of leaves, straw, seaweed, etc to keep soil insulated until spring.
