The natural properties of the cork help preserve the fruit and keeps it fresh for longer and keeps pesky fruit flies at bay. The ceramic body keeps the light out while the holes in the bowl help for air circulation, and together with the insulating properties of the cork lid, they help maintain a constant temperature, much like in an old school cellar. Whole heads of garlic will keep for several weeks or longer when stored at room temperature in a dry, dark place (to prevent from sprouting) that is well vented. Since garlic's lifetime decreases once you start removing cloves from the bulb, the top of the lid is the ideal place to keep in sight remaining loose cloves. 3 small openings in the bottom ensure the contents are well vented. Stackable for space saving storage.
