This hardneck garlic originally comes from Russia. Here on the Hochberg it grows easily and survives both the harsh weather in winter and the drought in spring. Attractive, purple-striped outer shells. It has elongated, medium-sized toes and is very, very sharp. The taste is very distinctive, so please use it sparingly for cooking. Stem-forming variety. Shelf life if stored well: until February. Available from the end of August to around December. Organic from our own cultivation.
Information for self-growers: Planting time: mid-October, harvest: beginning of July, space required: in the row 15 cm, row spacing 30 cm, if necessary cut off the stems completely at the end of May-beginning of June, then the tuber becomes larger. May only be planted in the same spot every 5-6 years and not next to leeks and onions due to pest infestation and diseases.

What is important to us:

  • Garlic variety

    We were amazed to discover how many different types of garlic have emerged around the world. We would also like to grow a small selection here on the Hochberg. That's why we test new, interesting varieties every year.

  • Biological Diversity

    ...is available in our garlic field. We do not use weed killers, insecticides or artificial fertilizers. We regulate the weeds mechanically...and that's actually hard work. Especially if you have to weed by hand. But as a reward for this we have a wonderful diversity of species!

  • Ingredients and quality

    We only use organic ingredients, wherever possible from the region. We are also growers of Alb lentils ourselves. We get first-class cleaned lentils from the house next door as an ingredient for our lentil spreads. We purchase rapeseed oil from the Bauschatz organic farm nearby. Most of our products bear the Bioland logo and are strictly inspected annually by ABCert. Hygiene and quality assurance is carried out by the BAV INSTITUT. We are also a member of Slow Food Germany.

  • packaging and shipping

    We work with an environmental printing company. The labels and leaflets are printed in an environmentally friendly way. The use of organic printing inks and organic varnishes based on renewable raw materials as well as suitable adhesives and additives also contribute to the conservation of resources. When shipping, we take great care to ensure that there is no waste, everything is made of paper.
