Legumbres Raul Manteca White Beans

Tasting Notes from the Curator

Spanish Manteca White Beans are cherished for their unique flavor profile which sets them apart from their leguminous peers. They are known for their mild, pleasantly earthy taste with a barely-there hint of nuttiness that entices the palate when cooked. They have a lusciously rich and creamy texture that tantalizes the senses and adds depth to dishes. These beans, when slow-cooked, break down to a soft, almost buttery consistency, which makes them versatile in a variety of cuisines. Indulge in the wholesomeness of these beans and let their natural flavor enchant your taste buds. Each bean minimally processed to maintain the natural taste and texture, a testament to Legumbres Raul’s commitment to traditional techniques and premium quality.

• They can also be featured in soups and stews, adding a comforting, filling element.
• Try them in a salad with a simple dressing of olive oil, salt, and vinegar for a light and nutritious meal.
