Product Details
Cloves per bulb: 4-7
This beautiful, vigorous porcelain type produces large, dense, white bulbs with huge, pink-wrapped cloves. When eaten raw, expect a robust, complex garlic flavor with little heat and virtually no aftertaste. Its flavor is buttery, nutty, rich, and even somewhat sweet when cooked. Developed at the base of the Mission Mountains in Northwestern Montana, it does extremely well in cold climates. Said to be developed from 'Zemo', a favorite of Cook's Illustrated in taste tests. 4–7 large cloves per bulb. Stores up to 6 months.
Due to state restrictions, we cannot ship garlic to Idaho, Hawaii, and the following counties in Washington—Adams, Benton, Franklin, Grant, and Klickitat (including cities such as Othello, Pasco, Moses Lake, Kennewick, and Richland). Please do not order garlic if you live in one of these locations.
We source our garlic from local farms, where passionate farmers hand-harvest each bulb. This commitment not only supports our community but also ensures top-notch quality and flavor in every product.

Cold-weather growers rejoice - Montana Zemo is your garlic! This variety has an incredible flavor profile that lends itself well to virtually any cuisine. Extraordinary as a garlic aioli! As long as you mulch it well during the bitterest winter months, it will vigorously pop out of the ground in spring to produce its bulb.

- PATRICIA D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 starsDec 2, 2025Firm and beautiful
In October, we received the beautiful, firm heads of garlic, nestled with the Majestic Hardneck Organics in their special box. After harvesting the potato bed, we planted the cloves there, under four inches of organic compost, covered with whole organic straw bales. The snow may melt by May, when we shall see how they all greet the spring.
EGEpic GardeningDec 2, 2025Hey Patricia,
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with our Montana Zemo Hardneck Garlic! We absolutely love hearing that the bulbs arrived firm and beautiful, nestled perfectly with the Majestic Hardneck - that special box presentation is something we put a lot of care into! Your planting method sounds absolutely perfect - using that freshly harvested potato bed with four inches of organic compost and covering with whole straw bales is going to give those cloves such a wonderful foundation to develop strong root systems over winter. We can just picture them all tucked in cozy under that snow blanket, getting ready for their big spring debut! May can't come soon enough to see how they greet the new growing season. We have a feeling you're going to have some incredible garlic scapes and bulbs come harvest time! Thanks for sharing your planting journey with us. Keep on growing 🌻️
