Killarney Red

Killarney Red is a flavorful Rocambole garlic known for its rich, slightly nutty flavor and reliable performance in the garden. Originally favored in northern climates, it thrives in cooler, wetter conditions and consistently produces large bulbs with 8–10 easy-to-peel cloves.

The cloves are wrapped in thin, reddish-purple skins and deliver a bold garlic taste that shines when roasted, sautéed, or added raw for a punch of flavor. It’s a favorite for those who love garlic with depth—strong, but not overpowering—with a smooth finish that works across a wide range of recipes.

Like other Rocamboles, Killarney Red has a shorter storage life (around 5 months), but what it lacks in longevity, it more than makes up for in flavor and ease of use. A go-to for those looking for a garlic that’s straightforward, flavorful, and satisfying.
