German Extra Hardy known for its larger cloves and spicer taste. This is a specialized variety at SGF and can be told apart from the Purple Stripe sold at SGF by the number of cloves of garlic in a head. It will vary based on head size but German Extra Hardy can have 4 to 7 cloves that will be a little larger in width (gurth) while Purple Stripe heads may contain 10 to 13 cloves but they will most likely be smaller in size. NOTE: Again this may vary from head to head.
German Extra Hardy is a hardy porcelain hard neck garlic that has a very strong spicy garlic flavor that seperates it from other garlic. The long-lasting heat softens when cooked.
SGF has a very limited amounts of this garlic available this year.
Definitely not your store bought garlic.

Garlic has been harvested, leaves and stem cut back, dirt cleaned off, and spaced out to dry for storage. Will be shipped or available for pickup possibly late July but for sure in August.
NOTE: Majority of dirt is cleaned off, we are careful to not get too aggressive with cleaning as we do not want to break the outer skin to assist in keeping garlic fresher.
Order must be picked up within 2 weeks of placing else a restock fee will be applied.
