The Dried Tondino Beans from Purgatorio di Gradoli of Agriturismo Il Poggio are exceptional dry legumes, a true gem: a typical product of the Alta Tuscia Viterbese area, they are famous for their characteristic of not needing to be soaked or only soaked for just an hour.
These extraordinary beans have been cultivated for a very long time in the volcanic soils of Alta Tuscia and have deep roots in the history of these towns. Since the end of the 16th century, on the Wednesday of Ashes, the municipality of Gradoli has organized the "Purgatorio Lunch", whose main dish is the bean served with rice in broth and lake fish soups. Why was it called Purgatorio? At that time, the Fratellanza Opera Pia (which later changed its name to Purgatorio), began organizing this event for the Relief of the souls in Purgatory to raise funds and other supplies for its charitable activities supporting families in difficulty.
The Dried Tondino Beans from Purgatorio di Gradoli from Agriturismo Il Poggio are excellent for preparing appetizers, minestrone and soups, side dishes, purées, salads, and main courses.
To achieve a good result with the product, we recommend further cleaning the beans, rinsing them several times under running water, soaking them for one hour, maximum one and a half hours, changing the water, and cooking them in cold water: legumes should not be salted during boiling, otherwise the skin will crack and the flesh will be hard.
