This garlic is named after a small village near Paceco, in the province of Trapani. The outer papery layer of the bulbs is pinkish-white, but the skin of the cloves is a deeper reddish pink. Nùbia red garlic has a significantly higher quantity of allicin than other varieties, giving it a particularly strong flavor. The garlic is grown by small-scale farmers using manual techniques and no chemicals. Once harvested, the garlic bulbs are sorted by size and woven into long braids.
