Montes Dried Butter Beans Reviews

5 Rating 16 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Judion beans are the essential secret to an authentic Spanish cocido or stew. They will take your creation to a new level! Basco is the exclusive source of this gourmet bean in UK. You cannot find a suitable substitute in the local supermarket or even a gourmet store. These magnificent buttery Judion beans, grown in Salamanca, are absolutely huge and meaty! Perhaps mammoth is the right word. After you have soaked them, each bean may measure up to 2 inches across! A bean lover’s dream come true! To prepare traditional Judias con Chorizo, your broth will include saffron, pimentón smoked paprika, some jamón serrano, chorizo, and olive oil. The centerpiece will be these magnificent judiones, like none you have ever tasted before. They are selected by Legumbres Montes, the premiere source of gourmet quality beans in Spain.

I first tried these Montes butter beans in Segovia a few years ago. I have looked for equivalent quality here in the UK but to no avail, until I found Basco . These are excellent quality beans and certainly of equivalent quality as I tried in Spain. For anyone who loves butter beans these are a must try.

I had heard that Spanish broad beans were the best. These beans definitely proved that right. For starters they were so much bigger, once soaked, than others I had used. Then came the eating, they were tasty and so moist. Really pleased with them
