Our exclusive “Haricot Tarbais” beans are imported directly from the Tarbais region of South West France where they grown and hand-harvested every fall after drying naturally on the stalk. Tarbais beans were the first in France to be given "Red Label" status, which guarantees their superior quality. They also boast a "Protected Geographical Indication," or PGI, similar to the "Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée" (AOC) of the French wine industry, which assures their authenticity.
Tarbais beans have a sweet, milky flesh and, even when cooked over long periods of time, most will remain whole, with just enough bursting to provide a creamy texture to your dish. These distinctive characteristics make them the ideal choice (we at D’Artagnan would say the ONLY choice!) for a hearty Cassoulet.
Try them in our Cassoulet D’Artagnan recipe, or in any of your favorite recipes that call for dried white beans. We also love to serve them pureed with our black truffle butter for an easy appetizer.
