Music was first introduced into North America in the 1980s by Al Music, a farmer who emigrated from Yugoslavia to Canada. During a trip to Italy, Al Music obtained garlic and brought it back to his farm in Ontario. He found that it thrived in the harsh Canadian climate which lead to its popularity.
This variety is a Porcelain type of hardneck garlic. It usually contains 4-7 large, easy-to-peel cloves. These are covered by a thick, papery, white skin that sometimes has a pinkish tinge. Music Garlic is known for its strong, pungent flavour that carries a subtle sweetness when cooked. Its medium-hot intensity makes it highly prized by garlic lovers.
Music is ideally suited for colder climates due to its hardneck nature. It’s relatively easy to cultivate and prefers well-drained soils and full sun exposure. It is also resistant to many of the diseases that commonly affect other garlic varieties.
The robust flavour makes it excellent for cooking. Music has a powerful garlic punch in dishes such as sauces and marinades and is particularly good for roasting whole. Its ability to retain its flavour even when cooked makes it a versatile and cherished ingredient in kitchens. Can be stored for up to eight months if kept in a cool, dry place.
