More precisely "aglione of Valdichiana", because here it was born, and it is still cultivated using traditional techniques that have been handed down since the time of the Etruscans, the ancient inhabitants of Tuscany. Such name says a lot about this special variety of giant garlic, whose bulbs can weigh up to 800g, against the 150g. of a common garlic. But, in addition to the dimensions, which are the characteristics that differentiate aglione by his “cousin” aglio?

• Its scent, spicy and delicate at the same time; this because aglione is free of alliin, a substance that is a natural constituent of fresh garlic, which gives the garlic a strong and pungent smell that so easily remains on the hands.
• Its sweet taste, which makes it a perfect substitute for classic garlic in each recipe, ranging from sauces for pasta, up to meat or fish.
• Its digestibility, another property to be reckoned with, if you suffer from heartburn; after a meal, it will be hard to continue to smell its aroma.
