These hearty, thin-skinned beans cook to perfection in a few hours without preliminary soaking. They are an heirloom treasure that are carefully grown and tended by Michele Ferrante and are registered by the Italian Ministry of Agriculture as authentic “Fagioli di Controne.” These tender beans are flavorful in your favorite soups or simply served with olive oil and seasonings.
Michele Ferrante is a one-of-a-kind grower of Italian heritage products. On his small farm outside of Salerno in Campania, Ferrante produces heirloom and unique varietal beans, grains, peppers, and spices. Once only available locally, we are proud to be able to bring our customers these true farm-to-table specialties. These are products that can’t be found anywhere else in the world.
DO NOT SOAK. Put the beans into a large pot, cover with water. Bring water to a boil, then lower heat and simmer 1-1.5 hours for "al dente." Cook longer for soups and spreads. Do NOT stir during the cooking. Beans may also be cooked overnight in a crockpot on low heat, or in a 250F oven for several hours.
