Gialèt della Val Belluna Pole Bean Seeds

A century old dry bean that comes to us from the Val Belluna region of northern Italy, with a reputation for high quality.  Historically it was cultivated not just for everyday use but for sale to the wealthier classes, and even the Vatican.  This was not a subsistence bean but valued as a specialty product in markets, particularly in cities like Padua, Verona, and Bologna.  ‘Gialèt’ is known for its thin skins which are said to disintegrate in cooking, making them more digestible.  20 Seeds/packet
