Dikotylon's "Gigantes Feneou" are produced by local farmers in Feneos, a high mountain valley nestled between the peaks of Mt. Helmos and Mt. Zyria at an elevation of 2,000 feet, in the northern Peloponnese. The area is renowned for its bean cultivation. Gigantes Feneou retain their unique characteristics through cultivation techniques that have been handed down from generation to generation. They are entirely hand farmed and hand processed. The exclusive selection of seeds, by the farmers themselves, for sowing the following year preserves the purity of these unique beans.

The beans were very good. I cooked them in an Instantpot with tomatoes, chicken broth,sauted onions and peppers.Just push the preprogrammed button and they come out very creamy.
United StatesThey're Hugh and in good shape in pkg. and creamy cooked.
I figure they have to be much fresher than the beans yoiu get at the grocery store and those aren't Gigante, because they cook in about 35 minutes. But the price is pretty high and then you have to add shipping to it.
