Fagiolo di Lamon is a borlotto bean of excellent quality cultivated in the Lamon area of Friuli-Venezia Giulia, bordering the Belluno territory. Its reputation for quality is linked to distinctive organoleptic characteristics: the seed displays variegated coloring with red streaks on a white-cream background, while the skin is particularly thin and delicate. This peculiarity gives the bean a creamy consistency inside, maintaining its shape intact during cooking, and a sweet, characteristic flavor.
Cultivation in this highland zone, with its specific climatic and soil conditions, favors the development of sensory qualities highly appreciated in the kitchen. In cooking, Fagiolo di Lamon is ideally suited to the preparation of traditional soups and vegetable broths, maintaining a well-defined structure even after long cooking times. Its versatility makes it suitable both for rustic dishes of Veneto tradition and for more elaborate preparations.
