Biofavole's Sweet and Sour Beans

Biofavole's Organic Sweet and Sour Beans are made from fresh organic borlotti beans, harvested and processed by hand according to a traditional family recipe, making them a tasty and healthy side dish. All ingredients are strictly organic. Every step—from harvesting to processing to packaging—is performed by hand: this is what makes these sweet and sour beans a top-quality artisanal product, meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail. Along with the borlotti beans, the recipe calls for carrots and onions, all preserved in a carefully balanced blend of oil, white wine vinegar, white wine, and cane sugar. Crispy on the palate and delicately sweet and sour, they are a versatile and flavorful side dish, the perfect expression of traditional home canning.
 
 
 

The roots of these beans are deep in the tradition of family preserves

Sweet and sour preservation is one of the oldest and most beloved techniques in Italian cuisine, a skill passed down from generation to generation in peasant homes. Sweet and sour—the skilful balance between the acidic notes of vinegar and the sweetness of sugar—was born not only as a method for preserving vegetables for a long time, but also to enhance their flavor, creating an irresistible contrast. The borlotto bean, with its creamy pulp and rich flavor, is among the most beloved legumes in Italian tradition, present in kitchens throughout the peninsula. Transforming it into a crunchy sweet and sour sauce means preserving a piece of family history, those jealously guarded and handed down recipes that evoke the taste of home and shared celebrations. Biofavole continues this legacy with entirely artisanal processing, faithful to a family recipe.
 
 
 

Choosing Sweet and Sour Beans means taking care of yourself.

Borlotti beans are a valuable and nutritious food, a cornerstone of the healthy Mediterranean diet. They are an excellent source of plant-based protein, making them a valuable complement or alternative to animal protein, particularly useful in vegetarian diets. They are also rich in fiber—this preparation maintains a good amount, approximately 6,7 g per 100 g—which is valuable for intestinal health and promoting a feeling of satiety, as well as helping to control blood sugar and cholesterol levels. They provide minerals such as iron, potassium, and magnesium, as well as B vitamins. The presence of carrots and onions adds additional nutrients and antioxidants. Naturally gluten-free, they are suitable for those following a gluten-free diet. A delicious side dish that combines tradition, flavor, and well-being. Contains SULPHITES.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Organic Sweet and Sour Beans

• WITH COLD CUTS AND MATURE CHEESES — A classic and delicious combination. Their sweet and sour note contrasts beautifully with the saltiness of the cured meats and a Organic Aged Caciocavallo Reserve, for a rich platter or a traditional appetizer.
• WITH BOILED MEAT, COTECHINO AND MEATS —The perfect side dish for meat dishes. Serve them alongside a Biodynamic boneless veal stew or a sausage, where the sweet and sour sauce degreases the palate and enhances the flavor of the meat, as per holiday tradition.
