When my daughter visits us, she always makes a visit to the Garlic Farm
and stocks up for herself and usually has a shopping list from those
around her back on the North Island. Considering she might only visit a
couple of times a year due to pressure of work and her own very busy
life style, you're not going to tell me that she buys it and watches it
go bad/mouldy/whatever.

Watching a TV program in the last couple of days the cameras visited a
garlic farmer, who has found a new way of preserving garlic. He claimed
that garlic cannot be kept for more than three months. Is that true? I'm
sure that I have kept it longer.
The story was about a farmer in England, who being unable to make a
decent living from his farm started growing garlic. H claimed that his
wife gave him a few bulbs one year and his whole stock is from that. I
cannot remember the exact details of the treatment but they ended up
black. I would quite like to find a source as they did not smell
strongly, tasted more like Balsamic vinegar, which I am addicted to.
Also another plus is when squashed it turned into a purée type
substance, easy peasy! substance.
