Rancho Gordo - Ayocote Blanco Bean

Ayocote Blanco Beans are a versatile mid-sized white bean originating from Mexico that offers a creamy texture while maintaining its shape during extended cooking. Ayocote Blanco is a dense, flavorful bean with a thick skin. When completely cooked, its creamy and starchy texture attains a delicate potato-like taste. Originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, the Ayocote family was one of the first cultivated crops of the Americas. They are grown all over central and northern Mexico but are more prevalent in indigenous communities.

Rancho Gordo was founded in 2001 by Steve Sando in Napa, California, with a mission to preserve and promote heirloom bean varieties that were disappearing from American agriculture. We carry Rancho Gordo because they represent the quality and character we look for in everything at The Ambrosian Pantry.
