LOVE Garlic can last as long as six months if stored properly.  Garlic is best stored in a kitchen or pantry where temperatures are relatively constant and humidity is low.  Never store garlic in plastic or in the refrigerator.  Something as simple as a brown paper bag in the kitchen cupboard can provide the best storage for garlic.

 

Braided garlic hanging on a kitchen wall also offers a beautiful option for storing garlic.  If the garlic is braided correctly you should be able to cut off one bulb at a time, starting from the top of the braid and working downward, without disrupting the integrity of the braid.

 

Pottery garlic keepers are another attractive and effective method for storing garlic.
