zolla

/ZOHL-lah/
[Italian] plural zolle

A name in Abruzzo for garlic scapes specifically from aglio Rosso di Sulmona. Scapes are the long flower stalk which rises from the root of garlic. Traditionally these are removed immediately after flowering or yields from the final garlic can be drastically reduced. They have now been found to have a mild garlic flavour of their own.
