| Flavour |
Raw: Some hot, sulphurously aggressive, acrid and lacking in nuanced complexity. The best are spicy with sweet overtones, persistently hot at the back of the mouth and very garlicky. Develops slowly.
Roasted: Strong, good depth of flavour, slightly earthy. Holds flavour well.
Sautéed: When sautéed until crisp has delicious strong garlicky flavour, less heat than when raw
