Trevi Dry White Beans (Feijão Branco) 500g

Product Overview

• The Look: Medium-to-large, ivory-white beans with an oval shape.
• The Texture: These are known for their incredibly creamy, "buttery" interior once cooked. They have a slightly thicker skin that helps them hold their shape in heavy stews, but the inside becomes soft and velvety.
• The Flavor: Mild and slightly nutty. Because they are less "earthy" than black beans, they act as a perfect sponge for fats and spices, particularly smoked meats.

Key Uses & Recipes

1. Dobradinha: The most famous Brazilian use for these beans. A rich stew made with white beans, ox tripe, calabresa sausage, and bacon.
2. Cassoulet/Feijoada Branca: A lighter, French-influenced version of feijoada using white beans and poultry or pork.
3. Portuguese Salads: Frequently used in Portugal for cold bean salads mixed with tuna, onion, parsley, and Gallo Olive Oil.
4. Broths and Purees: Due to their creaminess, they are often blended to thicken vegetable soups.
