Creole type

Certified Organic by Oregon Tilth

Donostia has a wonderful full bodied flavor and an exceptionally long storage capacity of 10-12 months! This is a very handsome, long storing Creole type was originally sourced from a market in Donostia, Euzkadi, aka San Sebastián, in the autonomous Basque region of Spain. Like all Creole garlic types, it is from Basque Country and not Louisiana.

Creole type garlics are known to be adaptable and tolerant to adverse conditions. Originally from the Pyrenees Mountains with a hardiness zone of 7 and above. Zone 7 enjoys a temperate climate with average minimum winter temperatures ranging from 0°F to 5°F (-15.0°C to -17.7°C). In cold winter climates areas they tend to produce weak scapes and none at all in the south.  

White bulb wrappers and deep pinkish-red clove wrappers surround 8-12 cloves. Very productive with bulbs up to 2 1/2" if provided ample fertility.
