The Valencian garrofón is one of the essential ingredients of Valencian paella. This large white bean is a gourmet delight, with an almost imperceptible skin and creamy interior, very different from other varieties of garrofón grown in other countries, with thicker skin and sandy flesh.
At Peris we began several years ago the cultivation and marketing of this legume traditionally grown in the Valencian Community. It is a difficult crop, sensitive to extreme heat, requiring a trellis structure and constant supervision due to its great vigour.
It has a great tradition in Valencian gastronomy as it was usually planted for private use in country houses during the winter, just like pumpkins.
The Valencian garrofón displays different purple spots depending on the variety in question. Generally speaking, three traditional varieties can be highlighted: speckled or painted Garrofón, Partridge eye Garrofón and La Cella Garrofón.
The three varieties differ in the type of purple spot on their thin skin, without affecting their smooth and creamy interior. These white beans can also be cooked in stews with vegetables, fish and meat, in addition to Valencian paella.
The Valencian garrofón bag includes between 1 and 1.5 kg of dried garrofón beans from any of the recognised varieties. This jute bag is designed for large consumers, especially the hospitality industry.
The biodegradable paper and PLA bag includes 300g of dried garrofón with a viewing window. This is sufficient for making a paella for more than 10 people.
The 100% recyclable PET tray includes a lid to use the 150g of Valencian garrofón beans and keep them perfectly. It is a key format for family paella and rice dishes.
