The Really Garlicky Company

If you are fed up with tasteless garlic, step this way and into the realms of the Scottish Really Garlicky Company. They are the only UK producers of Porcelain garlic which has a powerful punch and is closely related to wild garlic. The cloves are bigger and easy to peel.

The site is full of garlicky information as well as being an online shop. It also gives a list of the outlets that sell their products. In season, you can buy green garlic (July), which you treat like a spring onion, garlic scapes (June) with flowering heads and tasting like chives but with a mild garlic flavour. For the lazy, go for Eazy Garlic, which is a chilled tray of sixteen portions that can be added to sauces, casseroles. There is also butter, bread, rubs, aioli and more.

The FAQ make for an enlightening read with a few good ideas thrown in. Did you know that there are 450 strains of garlic? Why not roast a bulb of garlic? Just trim off an upper quarter inch off the bulb, revealing the cloves. Place on foil and drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper and a splash of sherry. Wrap up the foil and cook slowly for an hour and a half.
