Nubia Red Garlic in a Handcrafted 3-Bulb Ring Braid

Riserva della Terra Nubia Red Garlic is an authentic Sicilian agricultural product rooted in the rural traditions of Nubia, in the area of the Trapani and Paceco salt pans. This format contains 3 bulbs with an approximate diameter of 50-55 mm, harvested and woven by hand to create a distinctive ring-shaped braid.

Each ring braid is naturally unique. Variations in the shape of the weave, the colour of the bulbs and small natural irregularities reflect its handcrafted preparation and authentic agricultural origin.

Origin and territory

Nubia Red Garlic is grown in western Sicily, in an area characterised by its proximity to the sea, the coastal breeze and a long-established farming tradition. Its strong connection with this territory contributes to the distinctive aromatic profile and identity of an ingredient deeply rooted in Mediterranean cuisine.

Intense aroma and distinctive flavour

Nubia Red Garlic is appreciated for its intense aroma and bold, characteristic flavour. The cloves feature pale tones with distinctive reddish-purple shades traditionally associated with this garlic variety.

Whether used raw or cooked, it adds character to a wide range of dishes while maintaining its distinctive aromatic profile.

Handcrafted ring braid

The three bulbs are joined using their naturally dried leaves and woven by hand to form a distinctive ring-shaped arrangement. This craftsmanship recalls the traditional methods used in the Nubia area to preserve and present garlic.

The ring braid is more than an attractive way to present the product: it is also an expression of a traditional manual skill passed down over generations. Its distinctive appearance also makes it an original Sicilian gourmet gift.

How to use Nubia Red Garlic

It is ideal for seasoning pasta dishes, sauces, bruschetta, soups, pulses, vegetables, meat and fish recipes. It can also be used to prepare dressings, preserves, pesto and traditional Sicilian dishes.

Its distinctive aroma makes it suitable for both simple everyday recipes and more elaborate preparations.

Storage instructions

Store the garlic ring braid in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from heat, moisture and direct sunlight. Avoid keeping it in sealed containers or plastic bags, as these may restrict the natural ventilation required by the product.

As this is a natural agricultural product, its shelf life may vary depending on environmental conditions and storage methods.
