Aglione sauce: with Aglione della Valdichiana

Aglione is a Tuscan delicacy that well represents the incredible biodiversity proud farmers preserve all
around Italy.
Our aglione is harvested in June in it’s native area, between the provinces of Arezzo, Siena, Perugia and
Terni. While this garlic can grow to be very large, it is most well known for it’s taste. Delicate and easy to
digest, it is also called “kiss garlic”.

we love everything of this delicious bulb, the steam of the flower is also good to cook, even more delicate than the cloves.

Like for many old variety of seeds, aglione was almost lost, in favor of other common garlic easier to grow for industry, fortunately we are living a period of revaluation and rediscovering for the traditional and an associaciotion of farmers is now working for the Aglione pride.

In our tomato sauce it almost completly dissolves.
Paired with pici senesi it makes the perfect marriage, but is also great with shorter pasta such as: rigatoni,
calamarata or mezzemaniche.
