Michele Ferrante No-Soak Controne Beans, 300g

Controne beans are an incredibly special bean. This small, round, slightly oval-shaped white bean is an heirloom bean from the Controne Municipality in Salerno (just southeast of Naples). Controne Beans have been listed in the Slow Food Ark of Taste as a bean of cultural importance on the verge of being lost. Controne beans were originally cultivated by Benedictine monks in Salerno. Oh, and most importantly, they taste really good and you don't have to soak them!
