Sulmona red garlic zolle (cloves)

Clods of Sulmona Red Garlic 250 gr. pack

Sulmona’s red garlic clods are the flower scapes of the plant.
The Sulmona Red Garlic is the only Italian variety of garlic that regularly emits the flower scapes, called tolle or clods in dialect,
or the shoots that are extracted from the plant to promote the growth of the bulbs.
They are located in the inner, central part of the plant and are characterized by a pearl white color at the base that gradually fades into green towards the top.
They have a length of about 10 cm.

This floral scape is very delicious and can be tasted and used in the kitchen both fresh and in oil or in the form of cream.
The clods have a less strong taste than the garlic itself, but retain the same properties.
They are chosen, then cut into pieces and blanched for a few minutes in a solution of water, salt and vinegar,
to be enjoyed alone or in combination with any type of appetizer, but they are also excellent as a side dish.
