Fagiolo di Sarconi

Grown at altitudes of 600m, in fertile alluvial soils characterized by good water retention and no limestone, Fagiolo di Sarconi refers to the fresh or dry beans of the Cannellino, Borlotto, Tabacchino, San Michele Rosso and 15 other derived ecotypes cultivated within the province of Potenza.

Sarconi beans are harvested either green or when they reach complete maturation, after which they must be dried. These savory flavored beans are quite tender, easily digestible, and prized for their short cooking time, which is why they are most often used in salads, soups and minestrones.
