What started as a small operation has become a phenomenon, with a Bean Club that has a years-long waitlist and a devoted following that treats bean drops like sneaker releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRancho Gordo works directly with farmers in the US and Mexico to grow heritage bean varieties like Ayocote, Cranberry, and Rio Zape that you cannot find in any grocery store. Their beans are harvested annually (never sitting in warehouses for years like commodity beans), which means they cook faster, taste better, and have a creamy texture that old beans simply cannot achieve. They have almost singlehandedly revived American interest in cooking with dried beans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ambrosian Pantry carries a curated selection of 25 Rancho Gordo products, including heirloom dried beans, grains, chiles, and Mexican pantry staples. Every product in our store has been tasted, evaluated, and chosen because it represents the best of its kind. We are proud to be one of the few retailers in the Denver area to carry Rancho Gordo, and our selection is among the deepest you will find anywhere in the Rocky Mountain region.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop Rancho Gordo at The Ambrosian Pantry, 263 Josephine St in Cherry Creek, Denver.
