Super Colossal Garlic
marketnotes
We have been receiving the best loose garlic we have seen in a long
time! It is from a premier supplier in Spain and we are getting rave
reviews on the outstanding quality of this garlic. Very neat and clean
with a thin skin protecting the delicious, pungent cloves. Because of its
larger size, you can let your creativity run wild.
