Many varieties or cultivars of garlic are available, due to the high environmen- tal adaptative ability of the species, and they can be selected and identified based on morphological, biochemical, and chemical data [1,2]. In this study Vessalico garlic, one of the best-known Italian garlic ecoytpes, was compared with Messidrôme and Messidor, whose cloves are used for sowing, and with the geographically adjacent Caraglio ecotype.
