This typical production of the Tarn is said to be sweet and subtle and its aroma does not attack the taste buds. It is perfect for all dishes, with a fine flavour. This seasoning, which is currently experiencing exceptional excitement, is of course the Rose pink garlic. It has to be said that he has many qualities, as he is also known for his great conservation faculty - he can keep dry from one harvest to another. In fact, it's a stick garlic, which explains its traditional cluster (or manouille) conditioning. Its beautiful colour comes from the fact that the enveloppe envelope is pink veined. Its culture developed from the Middle Ages in the region, until the 1950 s, when farmers decide to highlight this pink gold. A Red Label was obtained in 1966 and, in 1996, the Protected geographical indication of the European bodies. As a consequence of this success, production today reached nearly 800 tons per year and 179 producers cultivate Lautrec rose garlic over 360 hectares. In Lautrec, we celebrate every year, the first Friday in August!
