Original seed was “Spanish Roja Racambole Garlic“, now after acclimating to Cerro for the past 40 years, this Spanish Roja is now a “landrace” garlic, and has been re-named “Cerro Rojo“.

 

Cerro Rojo bulbs have 6 to 8 large and easy-to-peel cloves, which make it a joy to cook with. Cloves are planted 4″ deep during the first week of October, they emerge from the soil around March 1st, and are mature and ready to harvest around July 20th.
