Oh, good ol' Bärlauch! Great info about it here, I was always afraid to foraging it myself. Especially since I'm now in the US, but I could swear that I smelled it in prior years during bike rides. There is a specific route in the forest with a little creek, very damp - and lovely. And during a certain time of the year - it stinks - LOL - literally. I could have sworn it's Bärlauch. Of course, now I have to go there, soon, and check it out with your handy, dandy tips.
And I love, love, loooooove pesto. My go-to is arugula (Rucola) pesto - yum, yum. Can you store Bärlauch pesto really for a whole year? That's amazing!
Thanks again!!

Hey thanks :) Could very well be that you have the lil brother of Bärlauch nearby? As @paradoxtma wrote, there is Allium Triccocum growing in NE America, a sibling if you will so. Where are you at? Rucola is great too, you can make pesto out of anything pretty much lol. And you can store pesto for up too one year easily when having it covered in oil. Then off to a dark, cool spot and good to go. You can freeze it as well, then I would just leave the oil and add that when you defrost the rest. But I prefer the oil method.
