Pedigree:: Came to us from Bertie van der Mark of Lumby, BC in 2013 who obtained it from Maple Bay Farm (Duncan, BC) in 2005. Maple Bay originally purchased their stock from Filaree Farm (then managed by Ron Engeland) in Washington State. Filaree first got Maiskij from J. Swenson who brought it back from the Ashkabad bazaar in Turkmenistan.

Personality Profile:: Meeting Maiskij is like meeting a loved one we thought we'd never see again, the aromas dancing through our head like an afternoon spent high in an alpine field full of daisies and all manner of floral explosions. There's also a fresh snap when bitten into that's akin to water chestnut. Maiskij is a hidden hero, the Clark Kent of garlic.

Complex aromas and a delightful snap in texture, almost like a water chestnut.
