Description
Music is our most popular variety, and for good reason. This classic porcelain hardneck produces large, beautifully formed bulbs with 4 to 6 fat cloves per head. The skin peels away easily, the cloves are straightforward to work with, and the flavor is rich and savory with a gentle, warming heat that does not overpower. If you have never grown garlic before, start here.
Flavor
Rich, savory, and full-bodied with a mild to medium heat that builds slowly. Music holds up beautifully to roasting, sauteing, and long cooking. The heat mellows and sweetens in the pan while the depth stays.
In the Kitchen
Music is a true all-purpose kitchen garlic. Roast it whole in olive oil for a sweet, spreadable paste. Saute it as a base for soups, sauces, and pasta. Use it raw in vinaigrettes and dips. Its large cloves make prep fast and the flavor is consistent every time.
Growing
Music produces a scape in spring. Cut it when it begins to curl to redirect energy to the bulb. Plant in fall (October to November in most of the U.S.) for a July harvest. It performs well in cold winters and adapts readily to Pacific Northwest conditions.
Storage
Stores 4 to 6 months in a cool, dry, well-ventilated space. Do not refrigerate.
