Cannellini beans are prized in the northern region of Tuscany, and once you’ve tried this organic variety from Agribosco, you’ll know why. Among the many types of white beans, cannellini are more nutty, tender and creamy. Could they be the perfect bean? We’d say so.
Surprisingly, all beans are native to the Americas, and were among the souvenirs brought back to Europe by explorers in the 15th and 16th centuries (along with tomatoes!). The plants caught on quickly with Italian farmers, and beans have been an important staple in Italian peasant cuisine ever since. To this day, they are one of the most delicious and affordable sources of protein available—and they’re vegetarian, too!
One of the grandfathers of the modern Italian organic (or “bio,” as it is known there) movement, Agribosco was founded in 1990 by two farmers, Pietro and Alba. Fed up with the dangers of traditional farming, they wanted to honor the natural beauty of their home near the pristine rivers and green hills of Monte Cucco national park. Today, the company is a collective of dozens of tiny family farms in Umbria who are committed to keeping old-fashioned methods and crops alive. You can see the farmer's hand in every bag—literally! Each bag is labeled with the name of the person who grew it. Agribosco is committed to ecological and social responsibility, and believes that good stewardship of the land for future generations is their ultimate goal.

Dried beans must be simmered in lots of water before they can be eaten. Add a good glug of olive oil to the pot, and feel free to get creative with adding aromatics such as woody herbs, garlic, or a rind of parmigiano to boost the flavor even further. In traditional Italian cooking, cannellini beans add bulk to soups like minestrone and pasta e fagioli, and are often paired with canned tuna or bitter greens such as escarole and cavolo nero.
