Beans: Fesols de Santa Pau PDO
Fesol de Santa Pau PDO is a white bean of the highest quality. Easy to cook and full of flavour. It is grown in volcanic soil in the village of Santa Pau in the Catalan region of La Garrotxa. These slightly shiny, small, round white beans have a very thin skin, which means that once cooked, they have a very soft texture that is not at all floury. Producers claim that their excellent qualities are due to the characteristics of the soil where they are grown and the climatic conditions.
Renowned for its hook shape, flat and medium-sized with very thin skin and a mild flavour. It is a white bean with special characteristics and is highly prized in gastronomy. It is a native variety of the Catalan regions of El Valles Occidental, Valles Oriental, Maresme and La Selva. Protected under the PDO seal.
