<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The “Bean Cannellino di Atina” PDO, considered a symbol of the culture and tradition of the territories of the production area, designates the product obtained from the cultivation of the Phaseulus vulgaris L plant, the local “Cannellino di Atina” ecotype.<\/p>\n
Its organoleptic characteristics are surprising: the epicarp is tender and deliquescent on the palate after cooking. These qualities are due to the specificity of the ecotype, but above all to the soil, defined as “focaleto”, located along the banks of the Melfa river, the Mollarino stream and their tributaries, of alluvial origin and rich in manganese, very percolating and dark in color. on which the bean is grown.<\/p>\n
With its opaque white color and delicate taste, it is the only bean so tender that it does not need to be soaked before cooking.<\/p>\n
In ancient times it was given to friends and relatives as a precious gift.<\/p>\n
The evidence of the importance of this product dates back to 1800. Already in 1811 Demarco defines the “Cannellino Bean of Atina” of excellent quality and Cirelli in the “The Kingdom of the Two Sicilies” (Vol.III 1855\/60) provides very significant statistical data on its production (in 1853 it was equal to “2500 tomoli per year”).
