AGLIO ROSSO DI NUBIA

 

In the dark and clayey earth around the salt pans, the red garlic is cultivated, a bulb with a very intense taste, made up of an average of 12 bulbs, with white peel and red insides. The production localised in the Nubia district is carried out according to ancient tradition, for the sowing, from December to the first half of February and for the harvest, at the beginning of June, in the cooler hours of night or early morning so that the leaves, being damp, allow the manual confection of plaits traditionally formed with a hundred heads on each one.
