Fresh garlic imparts a wonderful flavor to Italian foods. A garlic bulb or head consists of 12 to 15 cloves, each encased in a papery skin. When buying fresh garlic, choose bulbs that are heavy, firm and plump. Store bulbs in an open container in a cool, dark place. When using the Garlic Press you'll find you won't need to peel the cloves before pressing.
