When I buy peeled garlic from the Asian market (cheap and whole lot of it) I freeze the whole cloves.  I think freezing reduces trhe strength of it a bit.

Those pre peeled cloves are quite mild. I think the acid ideas above make sense as well as the "de-germing". People taste differently. I enjoy bitter and strong so the acrid in garlic at times plays into that. We all have our personal taste space.  Oh and when a garlic press was left here it created. longer and stronger sharp taste - so the crushed small bits more pungent.  (love that auto correct leaves in stoner as not a typo).
