How to Extend Shelf Life of White Garlic: The Proven Cold Chain Storage Method

In the competitive global food supply chain, maintaining fresh white garlic from farm to fork isn’t just about quality—it’s about consistency, trust, and operational efficiency. For European retailers, restaurants, and food processors, sourcing garlic that stays crisp, flavorful, and safe for months is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Our R&D team has spent over five years refining cold storage protocols for A-grade white garlic. Here's how we do it—and why your business should care.

From Harvest to Refrigeration: The First Critical Step

After harvesting, white garlic must be cooled within 4 hours—or spoilage begins. At our facility in Shandong, China, we use rapid pre-cooling chambers (down to -3°C) to stabilize internal moisture and reduce microbial activity by up to 70%. This step alone extends shelf life by 35% compared to traditional post-harvest handling.

Storage Condition Shelf Life (Days) Loss Rate (%)
Ambient Room Temp (20–25°C) 30–45 15–25%
Controlled Cold Chain (-3°C to 0°C) 120–180 ≤5%

Smart Packaging = Smarter Freshness

We don’t just store garlic—we protect its integrity. Each 10kg net bag is made with breathable mesh material that allows airflow while preventing bruising. In tests conducted with Italian food manufacturers, this packaging reduced oxidation-related discoloration by 60% during 6-month storage periods.

“We used to lose 18% of our garlic stock before delivery due to sprouting and softening. Now, with your cold chain system, we’ve cut losses to under 4%—and our chefs love the consistent flavor.” — Marco Rossi, Procurement Manager at La Cucina del Sole, Italy

Why Trust Matters More Than Ever

For B2B buyers, especially those in regulated markets like Germany or France, traceability and certification are non-negotiable. Our garlic undergoes ISO 22000 and HACCP audits, with full batch tracking from field to warehouse. That means you’re not just buying a product—you’re investing in a reliable partner.

Whether you're a restaurant owner struggling with inconsistent garlic quality or a processor needing year-round supply stability, our solution ensures every clove feels like it was harvested yesterday.

You may have asked yourself: "Do I really need cold chain storage for garlic?" If you've ever seen sprouted cloves or tasted stale garlic in your dishes, the answer is clear.

Let each garlic clove stay as fresh as the day it left the soil. That’s not marketing—it’s science.
