Fagiolo di Lamon della Vallata Bellunese

Grown on the fertile Lamon Plateau nestled in the Veneto's province of Belluno, Fagiolo di Lamon della Vallata Bellunese refers to the fresh or dry legumes of the following varieties: Spagnolo, Spagnolit, Calonega and Canalino.

The color of these beans ranges from light tan speckled with maroon to dark crimson and they all have moderately thick skin and are easily digested. Lamon beans are harvested either green or fully ripe, after which they need to be dried. Known for centuries as a cheap alternative to meat, Lamon beans are today being rediscovered as an essential ingredient of many various minestrones, soups and salads, as well as an element of a healthy, balanced diet.
