GRANDOLI'S PURGATORY BEAN

Origins of the Purgatory Bean

It is a local variety that has been sown since time immemorial, as evidenced by the lunch organized since 1600 in Gradoli on Ash Wednesday, called Lunch in Purgatory, of which the bean is the main dish.

The typical characteristics of this product depend both on the traditional techniques, which do not involve the use of chemical products, and on the type of land.

The latter, of volcanic origin, not very calcareous, are located in a hilly environment characterized by a mild temperate climate.

Small Niche Production

Almost all of the producers are associated with the Cantina Oleificio Sociale di Gradoli which takes care of the collection, cleaning, packaging and marketing of the product which is put up for sale with the wording
"Bean of Purgatory of Gradoli".
The quantities to be reused for sowing and that intended for family self-consumption are kept by the producers.

Festivals and events.

Every year, in Gradoli, on the day of the ashes, this legume can be tasted at the traditional Purgatory Lunch organized by the brotherhood of the same name.
