The Metechi Garlic stands as a rugged hardneck variety—or, as some would call it, a Marble Purple Stripe—infused with bold flavor and fortified with great resilience for your kitchen and garden. Garlic Metechi stands for that hardened experience that gives an intense sharpness and spicy bite, be it raw or roasted.

This particular variety usually produces large and sturdy bulbs, with 5 to 7 large cloves wrapped in purple-striped crisp skins that maintain freshness for up to six months . Under heat, it becomes somewhat more tender, making it highly suitable for heavy roasts, stews, and spicy sauces.

Metechi is part of the certified organic lineup from Mad River Garlic Growers and is carefully hand-cultivated at their small Ohio family farm to ensure the highest quality and flavor in every bulb.
