Right, the Single Clove Garlic is from China, and it is quite unique.
The growing area is called Dali, a beautiful city in west Yunnan
Province, located in south west China near Burma. Every year Yunnan
people ship many tons of such garlic to the world. People in Japan and
Australia especially like it due to its unique fragrant flavour and
high nutrition content. Farmers grow it in high moutain areas with
organic fertilizers only. Some pictures of it can be seen at

Its price is higher than regular multi-clove garlic but those people
who buy it simply love it. The mountain area surrounding Dali is very
beautiful, and there are three famous pagodas in that ancient city.
Local people like to use such single clove garlic to cook lake fish.
They steam the fish in a pan, and surrounded by the single clove
garlic...Mmm, it is delicious!
