La Veguilla
The place where garlic would like to grow
Ajos la Veguilla was founded in 1984 and specializes in producing and trading different varieties of this plant, especially Ajo Morado or Purple Garlic. The company’s land provides the ideal growing conditions for this crop thanks to the climate and altitude of Las Pedroñeras (Cuenca, Spain). It also benefits from a team of experts with a wide knowledge of the product. Another attribute is the use of the most advanced technology and the company’s continued investment in research and development.
Garlic with Guarantees
A settlement with gastronomic treasures
Garlic from La Veguilla grows in an area blessed with limestone soils and sits at an altitude going from 600 to 800 metres above sea level. The area has a dry climate with typically long sunny days and is prone to frost. Thanks to these factors, the plants are free from disease and require little phytosanitary treatment.
Furthermore La Veguilla is led by a team of professionals who control the quality of the product throughout the full crop cycle and production process.
