Lenticchie Umbre - Umbrian Lentils

Discover the culinary gem of Umbria with Lenticchie Umbre from La Valletta, a family-run farm in Colfiorito for three generations. Grown at elevations of 800–1000 meters in the pristine Umbria-Marche Apennines, these lentils thrive in a unique microclimate and naturally rich soil. Vine-dried and harvested between July and August, they are prized worldwide for their exceptional flavor and texture.

Unlike many varieties, Umbrian lentils do not require soaking and cook to perfection in just 20 minutes. Their petite size, delicate sweetness, earthy richness, and al dente bite make them perfect for soups, stews, purées, and ragùs.
