Zemo is becoming very popular for its prized large cloves, long storage potential, strong cold climate performance and resistancy to disease. Known for its unique flavor profile, characterized by lovely aromatics, rich flavor with subtle hints of sweetness and spice, and a nice, light-medium heat when eaten raw. America’s Test Kitchen from Cook’s Illustrated magazine did a taste test of 8 different garlic varieties, and Zemo was chosen as one of the panels’ favorite.
