Faba de Lourenzá | Local Kidney Beans From La Mariña, Spain | TasteAtlas

Faba de Lourenzá

Faba de Lourenzá are beans of the traditional Faba Galaica variety of Phaseolus vulgaris, L, produced on the coast of the province of Lugo. These kidney beans have become highly popular due to their exceptional culinary qualities.


The Faba de Lourenzá bean does not disintegrate while cooking in spite of having very soft and gentle skin. It has a creamy buttery texture and sweet and mellow flavor. These beans have been produced in the region of Lourenzá for centuries by families who have perfected the production process making it optimal for the production of this exceptional crop.


After being harvested, the beans are removed from the pods, separated and dried, and finally cleaned by air and vibration.
