Artichoke Softneck | Mild & Versatile | Long Storage
A classic Pacific Northwest heirloom, Lorz Italian is beloved for its smooth, mellow flavor and easygoing kitchen versatility. As an artichoke-type softneck, each bulb is packed with multiple layers of medium cloves — perfect for braiding and for cooks who go through garlic quickly.
Mild, well-rounded flavor — less bite than hardneck varieties, great for everyday cooking, roasting, and sauces
Multiple clove layers — more cloves per bulb than hardnecks, ideal for high-volume kitchen use
Braids beautifully — a top pick for traditional garlic braids and market displays
Excellent storage — softnecks are the long-haul champs, often keeping well 8–10+ months
