Garlic and its Italic varieties
Sulmona DOP red garlic
Sulmona’s red type is among the finest, thanks to its aroma and delicate fragrance.
In addition to pharmaceutical use, it is mostly used for fresh consumption in the kitchen in many traditional dishes of Abruzzo cuisine and beyond. Exquisite recipes are characterized by the presence of its flower bulbs and scapes, also called “tolle”, “zolle” or “crastatelli”, which resemble asparagus with a different and unmistakable flavor.
The culture of this plant in Abruzzo society is so deeply rooted that in the past it was customary to make children with intestinal problems wear a necklace of garlic. Braids of garlic were hung behind the doors to keep witches away from their homes. Other legends tell that the god Hermes gave it as a gift to Ulysses to resist the lure of the sorceress Circe.
Red garlic from Nubia
In Nubia, a small fraction of Paceco in the Province of Trapani, red type is grown too: it is called, in fact, “u paisi di l’agghi” or the village of garlic. They cultivate in rotation with melon, broad beans and durum wheat.
Its very intense flavor goes well with many recipes of Trapani cuisine, including the famous pasta with pesto alla trapanese, in dialect the “pasta cull’àgghia”.
