Garlic production in the Madrid village of Chinchón dates from the 18th century.

The so-called White Garlic belongs to the Chichón, Prieto and Regular white variety. It has a slimmer head and a longer, finer clove than other species. It has an intense aroma and, because of this, a smaller quantity is needed for seasoning meals or as a condiment. It is planted in November and December and harvested in June. It is used as a condiment in many dishes, sausages and roasts.
