The zolfino bean is a typical Tuscan legume. It is cultivated in the area of Pratomagno, a ridge that includes five municipalities between Florence and Arezzo and that has an optimal soil for the production of this magnificent legume. Only here, in fact, the Zolfino bean is born with all its valuable nutritional and healthy characteristics, first of all its very fine skin that makes it highly digestible. It is small and pot-bellied with a thick and creamy dough and has an unmistakable sweet and delicate taste!
The traditional recipe for cooking Zolfino bean is very simple but to enhance all its goodness, it must be cooked and tasted with a good Tuscan oil that does not cover the flavor but makes it more intense.
