LA CUCINA ITALIANA

Due imprenditori stanno cercando di rilanciare questo prodotto, scomparso dalla cucina italiana da qualche decennio. Hanno ricominciato a coltivarlo su un terreno nelle Marche. Attirando anche l’attenzione del Guardian. Esiste un aglio a prova di bacio: si chiama «aglione». E’ una varietà senza allicina, a cui è dovuto il tipico odore. E’ più grande (ogni bulbo pesa dai 300 agli 800 grammi, circa 10 volte l’aglio «comune») e dall’aroma più delicato. Per quanto sembri l’alternativa «gentile» al classico bulbo, è praticamente sparito dalla cucina e dalle ricette da qualche decennio. Secondo i dati di SlowFood, lo producono meno di dieci agricoltori, oggi.

C’est la fierté de la commune de Cadour, en Haute-Garonne. Pour la première fois en France, de l’ail a obtenu l’appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOC) après 16 ans de bataille. La production de cette variété d’ail est remplie de contraintes, de sol notamment, et de tradition comme le pelage à la main et le tressage.?

This New (Old) Garlic Varietal Won’t Endanger Your Make-Out Session

For those who have perused the menu on a date to avoid obvious garlic bombs (and scrutinize potential ones), there is aglione. This rarely seen Italian garlic varietal, thought until recently to be extinct, is odorless, milder on the palate and easier to digest — as in, no more garlic burps, breath, skin odor or anything of the sort. And in a food culture where garlic is almost unilaterally included in savory dishes, this is a big development.[…]

Aglione: l’aglio a prova di bacio riscoperto da due moder farmer

Per aglione si intende una varietà di aglio inodore e dal sapore assai delicato, diffusa a partire dagli Etruschi, celebrata con molte lodi per le sue caratteristiche durante il governo dei Medici. Il motivo per cui l’aglione è a prova di bacio e si digerisce bene è l’assenza dell’allicina, il principio attivo dell’aglio, responsabile del caratteristico odore del bulbo. […]

זן השום aglione – בתרגום מאיטלקית “שום גדול” – מוכר באיטליה כבר שנים רבות אך לא זכה לגידול רחב עד לפני שלוש שנים כאשר שני יזמים מרומא – אחד מהם מהנדס והשני עורך דין – החליטו לשנות את המצב. ראש השום “ללא ריח” הוא גדול יותר משום רגיל ויכול להגיע עד ל-800 גרם. הטעם שלו עדין ולא משאיר ריח מהפה אחרי האכילה.

Vergeten Geen knoflookadem met deze reuzenknoflook

Het Italiaanse duo Alessandro Guagni (ingenieur) en Lorenzo Bianchi (advocaat) herontdekte de reuzenknoflook bij toeval bij een bezoek aan een Toscaanse boerenmarkt. De aglione (Italiaans voor ‘reuzenknoflook’) is ongeveer 10 keer zo groot als een gewone knoflookbol en weegt zo’n 300 tot 800 gram. Doordat de aglione niet de chemische stof allicine bevat, is de smaak mild, krijg je er geen oprispingen van én ontbreekt de gevreesde ‘after-knoflook’-adem.[…]

This “Kissing Garlic” Won’t Give You Bad Breath

There’s finally a way for garlic-lovers to get their fix without ending up with bad breath or indigestion. Luckily, a Rome-based duo—a construction engineer and a commercial lawyer—is helping to resurrect an ancient garlic varietal. Nicknamed “kissing garlic” it has a slightly milder flavor and is completely odorless, so you aren’t left with stinky breath. Officially named aglione, the varietal produces bulbs about 10 times the size of normal garlic with no need for any artificial chemicals or fertilizers. “It couldn’t get more organic,” the duo reveals.[…]

2 Italian entrepreneurs hope to bring back once-popular Tuscan staple

A construction engineer and a lawyer who’ve been friends since they were teens were seeking a diversion from their 9-to-5 toil, so they teamed up to revive a Tuscany staple that hasn’t been prevalent in four decades: a huge variety of garlic that doesn’t stink, tastes sweeter, and won’t cause indigestion. Per the Guardian, Alessandro Guagni and Lorenzo Bianchi have spent three years cultivating aglione (“big garlic”), which they’re hoping to hawk to high-end food markets (and, ostensibly, to a clientele[…]
