BEARN INGOT BEANS

The Béarn lingot bean, Tarbais type, is characterized by a larger size than the mogette, or the classic white bean. It is an essential legume which is mainly consumed in winter either as an accompaniment to braised meat, or for the preparation of the famous garbure or cassoulet. Our canned ingot beans are a real artisanal can made from local raw materials from organic farming. Known for more than four centuries, bullion beans are a high-quality product that delights gourmets who love simplicity and taste. From the 16th century, the lingot bean became the traditional bean for cassoulet, and thus replaced the broad bean in the preparation of this dish. Originally from the New World, the bean crossed the Pyrenees and established itself in the Tarbes plain at the beginning of the 18th century. After declining in the 1950s, Tarbes bean cultivation was reborn in 1986. It is a large white bean with a very thin, stringy skin.
