Early-season, Turban type. Basque is a vigorous and dependable hardneck producing large bulbs filled with 6–10 easy-to-peel cloves. It’s an excellent option for growers seeking an early market presence and reliable garden performance. The attractive bulbs feature purple-blushed skins and substantial cloves that make kitchen prep quick and efficient. Its flavor is bold and assertive when raw, then quickly mellows into a smooth, savory depth in cooking. With its combination of early maturity, impressive clove size, and balanced flavor, Basque is a favorite for both growers and home cooks alike.
