Keith’s Farm, a regular Greenmarket presence, is known for its rocambole garlic. In the summer, their double curl rocambole scapes take the lime light, and as fall comes, it’s the bulbs that steal all the attention.
This type of garlic is very easy to peel due to its loose skin. Each bulb usually has about 12 cloves, and each bulb gives off a concentrated aroma. You can spot the garlic in the market by its purple-stripped skin.
Their depth of flavor is quite distinctive. I recently roasted an entire bulb to use as a spread and got rave reviews from friends, saying its potent flavor made the ideal smear for a sandwich.
Keith’s sells garlic gift satchels at their stand at the market, which come with a few bulbs. They are wonderful to give to friends and families who love the stuff…you could also give them to children who want to fend off vampires on Halloween!
