Sabarot Le Puy Lentils

Sabarot produces a wide variety of beans, from the justly famous Le Puy lentils ("the best lentils in the world," according to Patricia Wells), which are grown in the red volcanic soil of Velay and are known for their unusual coloring--dark green marbled with blue--and fine taste.  

They are AOP which stands for “Appellation d'Origine Protégée”, or “Protected Designation of Origin” (PDO) in English. Products labelled with this mark are produced, processed and refined in a clearly defined region.

The dainty pea-sized white coco beans may be used in stews or casseroles; they are also superb with lamb, sausages, gésiers, or duck confit.
