Wild Garlic Season Is Here – incl. Our Traunkirchen Soup Recipe

Spring is wild garlic season. It grows in the woods right outside our door – so you can bring home something for fine cooking from every hike.

In some regions it is simply called "wild garlic" – which describes its flavour perfectly. It grows in shady, damp woods, often in large carpets, and its scent gives it away from far off.

The simplest way to enjoy it: good farmhouse butter and a little fresh wild garlic on bread. Nothing more is needed.

Wild garlic smells strongly of garlic – that is also the surest way to identify it. The poisonous lily of the valley, which looks similar, has no scent. When in doubt, rub a leaf and smell it.
