The beauty of Germidour garlic is that it has a much more mild and sweet garlic flavour than regular garlic.
This type of garlic tends to be larger and great for many recipes. However it is not often found in food supermarkets.

You can buy it on Amazon, garden centres or sometimes local farmer markets.
The garlic sold is often labelled ‘for planting’ but works just as well when used in cooking.
