2010 Porcelain Garlic Varieties
Porcelain garlic varieties rival the rocambole types in flavor. The cloves are much larger in size and have a tighter skin around the cloves, which allows them to store longer. The one drawback is that the porcelain types have only 4 - 6 cloves per bulb. Still worth taking a look at because of the large cloves, people like to bake or grill the cloves whole.
Size shipped will differ with each variety.
German Porcelain (Porcelain) Originated in Germany, this garlic is a good keeper with rich flavor. It generally has 4 to 5 fat cloves per bulb. Its parchment-like white skin with fine purple lines makes it a beautiful garlic also. Store well. I have has this variety for awhile now, very good grower for the Midwest.

Music (Porcelain) A very cold hardy garlic, it has an incredible garlic flavor that is slightly spicy, and one of the most popular to grow because it can get large and it is easy to grow. Produces between 4 and 6 easy to peel large cloves per bulb, with a shiny-white sheath and pink-tinged clove skins. This one was named by the Ontario Garlic Growers Association in recogition of Al Music, who brought this Italian variety back to Canada in the 1980's.
