The beautiful, fine-skinned beans cook to a deep purple, and the traditional preparation is one of simplicity: olive oil, bay leaf, salt. and nothing more.

The small white beans, traditionally grown for centuries on just a few hectares along the Pescia River NW of Florence, are known and sought out for their very thin tender skin and excellent flavor. Slow Food Italy has designated a presidium to the bean’s preservation and promotion. In our field, they are remarkably early for a pole bean (our earliest by several weeks), maturing instead with the bush beans. The vines are only moderate climbing to about 6-7’ with much of the pod set low down on the plant. In this regard, you lose some of the benefits of climbing (ie. keeping the pods off the soil in wet weather), but the early maturity tends to make it a non-issue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Note: We recently changed the name of this bean to \"Pescia\" in our catalog out of respect for the place of origin protection the name \"Sorana\" carries. It has had certified \"Protected Geographical Indication\" (PGI) status through the EU since 2002. We encourage growers to avoid the \"Sorana\" name in marketing when growing outside of its traditional region. For one it is a legally binding regulation, but more importantly, these protections can play an important role in keeping a bio-diverse food landscape and help small farmers continue to make a living growing regionally and culturally significant crops in their place of origin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e85-90 days.

Cassoulet is truly a rich and fatty affair for the winter months, traditionally full of pork, duck fat, and sausages, slow-cooked for hours, and the beans excel in this role: some softening to thicken the stock and some retaining their shape and texture despite their nearly non-existent skin. The name and production are protected by the French government with the \u003cem\u003eLabel Rouge\u003c\/em\u003e (similar to other protected products like Champagne and Roquefort), meaning that any bean carrying the name “Tarbais” must come from the cooperative.

His recipe for basil pesto, written for Sunset Magazine in 1946, was likely the first pesto recipe ever published in the US.

He also left us a bean. The little grey and white Italian bean known to Angelo as “Monachine” (or little nuns), originally a gift of his winemaker friend Robert Mondavi’s uncle, could be found growing in his Seattle area garden for over a half-century. Pellegrini was very, very fond of the beans, famously enjoying them one at a time with just a drizzle of olive oil. Years after his death, Angelo’s son Brent, gifted the Herbfarm restaurant, an early farm-to-table pioneer, 11 seeds from which they endeavored to bring it back from the brink of being lost.

This area of the Veneto, in the foothills of the Dolomites, is significant as one of the first places in Italy where beans were seriously grown on account of humanist and scholar Pierio Valeriano, who in 1532 is said to have brought a sack of beans from the Papal court of Clemente VII to his home in Belluno for cultivation.

In contrast to the majority of the history of beans in Italian culinary history which largely relegated them to \"peasant food\", Gialèt was historically considered food for the affluent classes. Indeed, the description on the Italian packaging tells us that these are \"usually reserved for important luncheons\".
