Gilroy, California has been named as the Garlic Capital of the world making America, by Proxy, the Home of the Garlic Capital of the World.

Adding to that the city of Chicago derived its name from the Indian name for Garlic which was, “Chicagoua” it was abundant in the Chicago area.
 As the French settled in the area they adopted that name for the region, then over time converted the name "Chicagoua" to a French rendering, spelling it "Chicagou"
Then later on, as typical for this country we shortened it to Chicago, so America can definitely lay claim to the title,

The "Garlic Capital" of the World.

But for this weekend we are claiming the Garlic Title for the State of Vermont at the 21st Annual Garlic and Herb Festival, and what better way to do that than exposing everyone to our delicious Garlic and Herb Cheddar Cheese produced by the World Famous Cabot Creamery..
