The roots of these beans are deep in the ancient Mediterranean tradition

The fava bean is one of the oldest cultivated legumes, a staple in the diet of Mediterranean populations for over six thousand years. The Greeks and Romans cultivated it abundantly and even attributed sacred and ritual significance to it, so much so that it was central to numerous popular customs and beliefs. In Italy, the fava bean is deeply linked to spring and rural traditions: its pairing with pecorino cheese is an absolute classic of central and southern Italian culture, celebrated in many regions during the spring months. Preserving it in oil with aromatic herbs stems from the desire to extend the pleasure of this tender and delicate legume beyond its brief season, capturing its freshness. Mint, oregano, and garlic are the quintessential Mediterranean herbs, capable of enhancing its flavor. Biofavole preserves this tradition with a family recipe and entirely artisanal production.
