Monty Carlo (Marbled Purple Stripe) Seed Bulb

A new Marbled Purple Stripe.  More Russian in its flavour profiles – strong, sweet, sharp and spicy … with extra heat … yummm. Great for all round use during Summer and Winter, lovely rich raw flavour, sautees beautifully and roasts sublime.  Everyone loves it because it has 5-6 HUGE cloves that are really easy to peel.
