About LA TIERRINA ASTURIAN FABA BEAN D.O
LA TIERRINA VAQUEIRA D.O.P. With its Designation of Origin status since 1990, the Asturian Fava Bean is an essential ingredient for any Asturian cookbook. The grain, once cooked, remains whole, with smooth skin, a soft center, buttery to the palate with little or no grainy or floury texture. It is a dry bean of the Granja Asturiana variety and has the following characteristics: indeterminate stem size with long internodes; with a smooth, elongated green pod; an oblong grain, long and flattened, white in color with a minimum length of 18 millimeters. Care is taken with both the growing and the harvesting, and the beans can be purchased in bags, are served with cold meats or come in ready-to-eat, precooked meals
