Characteristics

Garlic is an annual crop, harvested around April/ May.  The oil production takes third place after firstly the demand for the fresh bulbs and secondly the manufacture of garlic flakes and granules.  The oil, which is steam distilled from the crushed bulbs, is easily adulterated and therefore in-depth analysis should be undertaken to ascertain its naturalness.
