Controne Bean

Controne, set against the splendid backdrop of the fields and olive groves that run up the slopes of the Alburni massif, is known for its oil and beans. The tradition of cultivating legumes here dates back hundreds of years. Farmers plant many different varieties, but it is the white ecotype that has made Controne famous: a small, pure-white bean, round and slightly oval in shape, without speckles or eyes. The pods are also creamy white.

Season
