Territory and Artisanal Processing

Our organic dried fava beans are lovingly and carefully cultivated in the sandy soils of the Torre Guaceto Nature Reserve, located along the stunning Pugliese coast. This area, with its Mediterranean climate and fertile soil, provides the ideal conditions for growing high-quality fava beans, following agricultural methods passed down through generations.

The Production Process of Dried Fava Beans

Cultivation and Harvest

The planting of fava beans begins in November, using carefully selected seeds from the previous year’s harvest. The beans are left to dry directly on the plant and hand-harvested in the first half of June. This process respects nature and ensures that the beans retain their sweet flavor and nutritional properties intact.

Traditional De-shelling

After harvesting, the fava beans are manually de-shelled according to local traditions, passed through the skilled hands of our expert producers. This artisanal method not only preserves the quality of the beans but also enhances their authentic flavor.

Characteristics and Benefits of Dried Fava Beans

Sweet Flavor and Nutritional Properties

Dried fava beans are legumes with a sweet and delicate taste, rich in proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and fiber. These legumes are a valuable source of essential nutrients for a balanced diet and are particularly appreciated in Mediterranean cuisine for their versatility.

Uses in Cooking

Organic dried fava beans are a fundamental ingredient in many traditional Pugliese recipes, such as the famous "Fava Purée with Chicory" and delicious soups. Their creamy texture and rich flavor also make them perfect for more modern and creative dishes.

Storage and Practical Tips

To preserve the best quality of your dried fava beans, store them in a cool, dry place. During the warmer months, it is recommended to keep them in the refrigerator to avoid the attack of food moths, especially if they have not been treated with ultraviolet rays. Remember to periodically check the condition of the beans to ensure their freshness and quality.
