Borlotto Bean
Since 1998 we have grown exclusively using organic methods, driven by the conviction that healthy eating starts from respected and fertile land. We grow legumes, grains and olive trees, following sustainable farming practices such as crop rotation and organic fertilisation. We are a young and dynamic company that combines tradition and innovation, thanks also to our collaboration with the University of Agriculture of Perugia. We have an ambitious project: the recovery of ancient and forgotten varieties such as Verna and Gentilrosso wheat, Senatore Cappelli wheat, einkorn farro, cicerchia (grass pea), black chickpeas and hulled barley. Our desire.
We produce with respect for nature, offering authentic products. Our Borlotto beans from Poggio Aquilone are a traditional variety grown in Umbria, appreciated since ancient times for their nutritional qualities. Their delicate flavour makes them ideal in countless preparations, from soups to side dishes. Rich in plant protein, fibre and minerals, they are a complete food when combined with whole grains, and play a positive role in regulating cholesterol, blood sugar and intestinal function.
Borlotto Bean in the kitchen: Ideal as a warm side dish, dressed with extra virgin olive oil and rosemary. A perfect ingredient in rustic soups with farro or barley.
