Fagiolo di Lamon della Vallata Bellunese PGI is a bean from the specified Belluno valley area, with four named local ecotypes.
Lamon beans belong in salads, soups and the local pendolon.
The consortium’s recipe collection moves between pasta e fagioli, bean cream and beans with cotechino. Its pendolon brings cooked beans and potatoes together with an onion and lard or pancetta soffritto, stirred into a firm mixture.
The ministry’s production dossier describes supports of poles, canes or vertical strings for the climbing plants. Harvesting is by hand, in stages as the pods mature.
The production dossier places the bean in the foothill country of Belluno, with calcareous-Dolomite soils and river terraces.
