Supplier ref. 03087 · quoted October 16, 2026
California garlic is quoted at $99.00 / 30LB case in the week of October 12, 2026. That is the lowest wholesale quote we recorded that week from the single New York distributor we track — not a market average, and not an official terminal quotation. The quote covers one 30LB case, the unit the supplier invoices; we never divide it by a weight to publish a price per pound.

About California garlic
Garlic is a world commodity and several origins are quoted into New York at the same time, so the word garlic on a price sheet says much less than the origin and the bulb size beside it. Size is graded and named, and super colossal, the top of that scale, is a separate line from loose California garlic. Black garlic belongs on the same shelf but is a different product entirely: whole bulbs aged under heat until they turn dark and sweet, priced as a specialty ingredient by the pound rather than as a commodity by the case.
Buying notes
Compare on origin and size grade rather than on the word garlic — a colossal case and a loose case do not peel the same or yield the same. The large grades are also sold in smaller packs for kitchens that cannot turn a full case, and peeled cloves are a separate line again.
