About the product:  The lush region of Kastoria is mountainous and semi-mountainous. It is traversed by rivers (Aliakmonas) and adorned by Lake Orestiada. The cultivation of beans dates back decades. At an altitude of over 650 meters, in irrigated soils, the Organic Medium Beans of Kastoria are grown. They are perfectly adapted to the area's microclimate. Winters are mild with low temperatures, spring brings moderate rainfall, and summers gradually become dry with increasing temperatures and intense sunshine.

This is a traditional semi-climbing variety of bean, sown in spring due to its sensitivity to cold. Intensive manual labor reduces mechanical stress on the soil, keeping cultivation traditional. The beans are easy to boil, have a thin skin, and are exceptionally tasty with a buttery texture. When chewed, the skin remains on the body of the bean. They have such a rich and full flavor that they can be eaten plain without any additional ingredients.

Soaking time: 12 – 14 hours.

Boiling time: 45 – 60 minutes (pot, for soup) 30 minutes in the pot and 20 minutes in the preheated oven (for baking)

Cooking methods: Soup, Salad, Appetizer, Baking, Medium Bean Fritters, Pâté, Puree, Boiling – Freezing and then use, Dessert.

Over the company: We're now in the third generation of our family, happily living in Kastoria and working all over Greece where there are many small family farms. Life in our villages is peaceful, and we believe in good human values. The local farmers, with their passion and skills, make a living by growing pulses and rice. They've been our partners since 1956 when the first family member started working with pulses.

Our connection with the community is like a strong bond; we depend on each other in a harmonious way. Our philosophy is all about "good, clean, and fair" food. That means food should not only taste good and be part of our culture but also contribute to our health. The way we make food should be clean to protect the environment, and everyone involved in making the food should be treated fairly. This philosophy is a perfect fit for us!
