Aglio di Resia

Aglio di Resia is a traditional type of garlic originating from Resia in the province of Udine. The garlic is called strok in local dialect and it's valued for its great quality and intense aroma. Each small bulb contains from six to eight cloves that are covered in a pinkish-red skin.

In the center of the bulbs, there are no cloves. Aglio di Resia is harvested either in late July or in early August. The bulbs are traditionally woven into bundles and the garlic is stored that way until the end of winter. This type of garlic is very suitable for the production of cured meat due to its sweet flavor and the absence of acrid aromas that can be found in common garlic varieties.
