Organic Norquay Garlic is a premium Porcelain hardneck variety renowned for its large, easy-to-peel cloves and exceptional cold tolerance. Each bulb typically contains 5–8 robust cloves wrapped in creamy white skins. Its bold, spicy flavor profile makes it a go-to choice for those who love garlic with character—perfect for hearty stews, roasted entrées, and fresh salsas alike.

This Canadian heirloom thrives in northern climates and delivers reliable yields when fall-planted and grown in fertile, well-drained soil. Norquay’s vigorous growth habit and natural disease resistance make it a strong performer in gardens where winters are long and temperatures drop low. It’s an excellent choice for both culinary and storage purposes, thanks to its impressive bulb size, hardiness, and flavor retention.

Favored by gourmet chefs and home gardeners alike, Norquay Garlic combines beauty, resilience, and flavor. Its easily peelable cloves and rich heat make it a standout for raw preparations as well as cooked dishes. With proper curing, this garlic stores well for months, making it a practical and delicious addition to your garlic-growing lineup.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

  • Flavor Profile: Norquay delivers a bold, well-rounded flavor with moderate heat that builds on the palate. This Porcelain variety shines in both raw and roasted forms—offering deep savory notes, a touch of sweetness when cooked, and an assertive kick when fresh. It's a versatile garlic that enhances everything from sauces and sautés to dressings and marinades.

  • Aroma Profile: When chopped or crushed, Norquay Garlic releases an earthy, pungent aroma with warming spice and intensity. Its fragrance deepens during cooking, adding rich depth to soups, stir-fries, and roasted dishes. In raw applications, its powerful scent stands out in pestos, dips, and compound butters.

Planting Time

It is typically planted in the fall for a summer harvest, similar to other hardneck garlic varieties. Planting in the fall allows the cloves to establish roots before winter sets in, leading to healthier plants and larger bulbs.

Scaping

Hardneck garlic varieties like this garlic produce scapes, curly flower stalks that emerge from the center of the plant. While the scapes are edible and delicious, their removal redirects energy to bulb development, resulting in larger cloves. Harvest scapes when they curl once or twice and use them in culinary dishes like pesto or stir-fries.

Storage and Preservation

How to Store Fresh Garlic

Once harvested in early to midsummer, allow the green stalks to completely dry and turn brown to ensure the garlic is fully cured. For best results, hang the hardneck bulbs in a cool, dry, and airy location to promote proper curing and preserve their bold flavor and nutrients. This type of garlic keeps well for several months, making it an excellent choice for both fresh and roasted dishes.

Preserving Garlic for Long-Term Use

To extend the shelf life of this garlic, harvest when the foliage has fully browned and the bulbs have reached maturity. Cure them in a dry, breezy location to retain their aromatic flavor and beneficial compounds. With its smooth texture and well-balanced taste, this garlic variety enhances everything from sauces to roasted vegetables, while holding its freshness in long-term storage.

Best Practices for Drying and Freezing

Freezing garlic after it has been properly cured is an effective way to extend its shelf life while maintaining its rich flavor and quality. Depending on your future use, you can freeze it in several forms—whole bulbs, individual cloves (peeled or with skins), or even minced. Although it’s possible to freeze garlic right after harvest without curing, it’s usually not advised. High moisture levels in uncured garlic can cause a soft or mushy texture once thawed, and the flavor may not be as robust.

Stains easily. Tight for men's size 11 feet
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs, Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
Husband wore dark cotton socks over these gel foot covers overnight and the covers picked up color from the socks. Tried hand washing, even dabbing with a bleach soaked paper towel, but the stains remained. The covers are a bit tight for men's size 11. Edit: After a few more hand washings the stains began to fade. However one tore around the leg opening when taking it off.

Worthless. Tore on first use.
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
The first time I put these on my feet, the whole toe broke right through. They were a proper fit and my feet are well pedicured. Just very poor quality. I don’t recommend.

Helps dry, cracked feet
Flavor Name: XL silicone socks 2 pairs
We use these on my husband’s cracked feet in the winter and put on a thick cream under these socks. They are nice because hair, dirt and that kind of stuff doesn’t stick to the outside. I do wish them came in more sizes and colors. They were a little small for my husband, but still worked good enough. My husband isn’t thrilled about wearing pink socks around the house. At least it’s just around the house and not out in public though.
