ZOLFINO bean - 500 gr.

ZOLFINO BEAN

The Zolfino bean also known as the cent bean because it is sown on the hundredth day of the year, or burrino bean. The zolfino is small and round, until the 1980s it could only be found by a few farmers in the hilly area around Loro Ciuffenna.

Its name derives from the pale yellow color, similar to sulphur. The characteristics that enhance it are the very thin skin (a feature that makes it very digestible), as well as the dense and creamy consistency, the intense flavor and the ability to withstand cooking.

It loves poor soil and does not survive on plains, because its root system - extremely superficial - does not tolerate the slightest stagnation of water. It is generally sown in April, often on the terraces under the olive trees, so that the water runs off between the stones of the dry stone walls.
