Rancho Gordo - Cranberry Bean

DESCRIPTION Versatile and velvety, this thin-skinned Borlotti bean produces a rich, indulgent bean broth, making it perfect for classic Italian dishes as well as simple pot beans. Cranberry beans are soft and dense with a soft, rich texture. The thin skins help produce a rich bean broth, making it the natural friend of pasta e fagioli (pasta fazool), as the liquid coats each noodle with its luxurious sauce.

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.

Pairs with: Soups, stews, salads, chili, or as a hearty side dish.
Perfect for: Plant-based protein seekers, heirloom ingredient enthusiasts, and home cooks building a quality pantry. Shop this and hundreds of other artisan finds at The Ambrosian Pantry, 263 Josephine St in Cherry Creek, Denver, or online at theambrosianpantry.com.
