Spanish Roja

A true heirloom, Spanish Roja has been grown in the Portland, Oregon area since before 1900 and remains a favorite among garlic enthusiasts today. This Rocambole variety is known for its bold, sweet flavor, layered with just enough heat on the finish to keep things interesting.

Garlic author Chester Aaron consistently ranked Spanish Roja among the top two or three garlics in over 50 taste tests—a testament to its rich, complex character. It also checks the practical boxes: easy-to-peel cloves, consistent performance, and strong culinary appeal.

If you’re after classic garlic flavor with real depth, Spanish Roja delivers.
