Ail rose de Lautrec (Lautrec pink garlic)

From Cookipedia


Ail rose de Lautrec

IGP Ail rose de Lautrec is garlic with pink cloves, and a flowery stalk, available principally in spring. It is produced in 90 areas with clay-limestone soils located around Lautrec (department of Tarn). The product is grown from certified seed sown on clay-limestone soils, harvested in early summer and then dried either naturally or artificially.

The link with the geographical origin is based on:

  • qualities (pink colour, keeping properties, taste) derived from the geographical area (nature of soil, traditional know-how of producers)
  • the reputation of the product

The area has long been a traditional producer of pink garlic
