Borlotti Beans

Creamy, melt-in-the-mouth borlotti beans from Piedmont, Italy, slow-cooked with just water and salt for a deeply savoury flavour, by B Corp certified Bold Bean Co. Slightly larger than a cannellini bean and with a creamier interior than a firm butter bean, their tender skins and velvety texture place them in a category of their own. The result is a jar that reflects the true quality of the variety.

Description

Bold Bean Co's Queen Borlotti Beans are a deeply satisfying, beautifully creamy bean with a melt-in-the-mouth texture and a savoury, full-bodied depth of flavour that makes them extraordinarily difficult to resist straight from the jar. It is part of our beans & pulses collection, chosen for quality and flavour.

Why You'll Love Borlotti Beans

Beans and pulses are among the most underrated ingredients in the kitchen, and Bold Bean Co Borlotti Beans shows just how good they can be. Naturally high in plant protein and fibre, they are hearty, versatile and brilliant at soaking up flavour. Grown in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, where the soil, sun, and conditions are specifically suited to drawing out the natural sweetness and earthy richness of the borlotti variety, they are harvested in late August when their flavour peaks, then slowly cooked in fresh water with just a pinch of salt to preserve everything the growing season has developed. Slightly larger than a cannellini bean and with a creamier interior than a firm butter bean, their tender skins and velvety texture place them in a category of their own. It is suitable for vegans, making it an easy choice for a wide range of diets.

How to Use Borlotti Beans

Use Borlotti Beans as the base of quick, nourishing meals: mash onto toast, simmer in sauces with a glug of good olive oil, or toss through salads and grain bowls for easy plant protein. The brand was founded in 2021 by Amelia Christie-Miller after a formative experience eating heirloom jarred beans in Spain revealed just how far conventional British tinned beans had fallen behind. Where most commercial producers cook quickly at high temperatures, Bold Bean Co cooks low and slow, soaks beans and discards the liquid, and adds nothing artificial whatsoever: just beans, water, and salt.
