Chickpeas by La Valletta Details

Colfiorito, where our lentils come from, is a small town on the border between Umbria and Marche. Located on a 800mt. plateau on the sea level in the center of the Colfiorito Natural Park, a beautiful reservation in the heart of Italy, disseminated with marshes and jewels of religious architecture. Here, Antonio and Adriana Cappelletti supervise the family production of lentils, chickpeas, beans and other local agricultural products such as potatoes and saffron. Farmers selling their products out of jute sacks along the roads that cross the Colfiorito Park are still a common sight. All the steps of the lentils and chickpeas production, the sawing of the grains, the picking, only when the plants reach their carachteristic yellow and orange color, the natural dessication and the cleaning inside the stables and finally the packaging, are managed painstakingly by the Cappelletti family according to a tradition passed down from generations. The Colfiorito farm also produces exceptional organic chickpeas, also favored by the altitude of the plateau where the air the water and the ground create perfect conditions for nutritiuos and flavorful crops. With a skin softer than other chcikpeas brands, you will need to soak them for a shorter time to enjoy all their full flavor and consistency.
