Così in Toscana rinasce l’aglione dal sapore gentile
Un avvocato, un ingegnere e… centinaia di oche. Strana combinazione per un’azienda ma è l’unica possibile per riprodurre in tutto e per tutto un antico metodo di coltivazione che non ammette fertilizzanti chimici e tollera poco anche l’uso di macchinari. […]

How Italy discovered the kissing garlic. Discovering the virtues of aglione
A construction engineer, Alessandro Guagni, and a commercial lawyer, Lorenzo Bianchi, have devoted the past three years cultivating a special giant variety of garlic, known in Italian as aglione – literally, “big garlic”. One bulb of aglione weights from 300 to 800 grams, about 10 times as big as normal garlic, and, as it hasn’t a very strong flavour, it was never considered very useful for cooking, but the two growers found that it has a specific quality that can appeal a lot customers around the world. Aglione is odourless. […]

Odorless garlic that won’t lead to bad breath
Aglione – once thought to be an extinct type of garlic – was brought to life by two entrepreneurs. The pair believes it is a variety that could be the key to enjoying garlic-based food without the after effects of bad breath. Entrepreneurs-slash-cultivators Alessandro Guagni and Lorenzo Bianchi said the resurrected type of garlic is sweet, easy to digest, and is odorless. They call it the “kissing garlic.” “The taste was very good and very light so we thought about the possibility of reintroducing it in the market,” said Guagni, quoted by the Medical Daily.
There’s finally a way for garlic-lovers to get their fix without ending up with bad breath or indigestion. 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 […]
