Plain cooked white beans from Vendée
These soft white beans date back to the 16th Century in South America when the
sailors offered it to Pope Clement VII. The monks who were put in charge of
looking into optimal conditions for acclimatisation soon discovered that the
Marais Poitevin had the best environment for growing them. Carefully sorted, the
beans are soaked, drained, rinsed then blanched and sorted again. They are the
perfect accompaniment to the Cured ham from the Vendée region
