For much of the year, we are selling seed that is still in the ground. You can pre-order based on our conservative harvest estimates. If the actual harvest is less than our estimates, we can usually find a similar strain to substitute within the same varietal group, so please check YES to “May We Substitute?”. If you select NO we will send a refund for any sold-out strains. An expert always considers your location, similar traits in strain, and any other strains already on your order to avoid duplicates. You are also welcome to add any notes if you have specific requests for possible substitutions, or you can request that we contact you if substitutions are necessary.
Pitarelli Garlic is a Rocambole-type hardneck variety with a unique history dating back to the Czech Republic in the 1920s. This traditional variety represents the rich heritage of European garlic cultivation and is valued by growers for its classic Rocambole characteristics and distinctive appearance.
Pitarelli is a later-maturing Rocambole that produces cloves with striking dark brown-red wrappers. Like other Rocamboles, it offers the rich, complex flavor and easy-to-peel cloves that make this type of garlic a favorite among chefs and garlic enthusiasts. Its bold flavor and heritage make it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to grow a traditional European garlic variety.
NOTE: Maximum allowable order size for this variety is a 1/4 lb.
