A sensory journey that follows the cycles of the earth, where each bulb tells the story of the land it comes from.

Natural Seasonal Garlic: Authenticity and Artisanal Flavor

Seasonal Natural Garlic isn't just garlic; it's an invitation to rediscover the authentic flavor of rural Italy. Depending on the time of year, we select the finest local varieties available from small farms: from the celebrated Sulmona Red Garlic to the finest varieties from Proceno, Castelliri, and Nepi. Each bulb is grown using natural methods, fully respecting the land and its cycles, without forcing or chemical treatments. It's seasonality made into a product: what arrives in your pantry changes with the calendar, always guaranteeing freshness, character, and a direct connection to its territory of origin.
 
 
 

The roots of this Natural Seasonal Garlic are deep in tradition

The history of garlic begins in the steppes of Central Asia, where millennia ago it began its journey along ancient trade routes to conquer the Mediterranean basin. But it is in small Italian villages that this plant has found its most precious expression: in Sulmona, in the Peligna Valley of Abruzzo, red garlic has been cultivated for centuries and celebrated as an agricultural jewel; in Proceno, in the upper Tuscia area near Viterbo, red garlic cultivation has been documented since the 18th century; in Castelliri, in Ciociaria, entire generations have woven traditional bulb halters to hang in pantries. These local varieties are a heritage of biodiversity at risk of disappearing: choosing them means keeping it alive.
 
 
 

Choosing Natural Seasonal Garlic means taking care of yourself

Eating seasonally is the first rule of wellness, and garlic is a perfect ambassador. Rich in sulfur compounds like allicin, it is studied for its positive effects on circulation and appreciated for its antioxidant properties, which help fight free radicals and support the immune system. Traditional varieties, grown slowly and without forcing, develop a superior aromatic and nutritional concentration. Including natural garlic in your daily diet means choosing an ally of wellness just as nature intended, free from pesticides and chemicals.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Natural Seasonal Garlic

• SUNDAY ROAST —Squashed wedges in their skin under the knife blade are the secret of every great roast: tuck them under the skin of the Whole Free Range Chicken together with the Fresh Rosemary, surrounded with the Organic Leonessa Potatoes and let the oven do its magic.
• TRADITIONAL SOUPS AND STEWS — A whole clove, left to simmer and then removed, gives depth to any peasant soup: try it in the soup of Organic Chickpeas from Val D'Orcia Organic Einkorn Pearly Spelled, a dish that warms and nourishes like in the old days.
• WONDERFUL CONFIT GARLIC — Cook the whole cloves over a very low heat, immersed inNovello Stone Ground Extra Virgin Olive Oil: they will become a sweet and velvety cream to spread, sublime next to flakes of Organic Mountain Parmigiano Reggiano DOP 24 Months.

Food container

Hang the heads in a cool, dry, and airy place, as per peasant halter tradition, or store them in a basket away from heat and humidity. Since this is natural garlic, untreated with anti-sprouting agents, it's best to consume it within a few weeks to enjoy its full fragrance: this is the truest sign of its authenticity.
