Dried Onano lentils 500g

The dried lentils from Agriturismo Il Poggio are dried legumes coming from Onano, in the province of Viterbo, famous for its lentils, a traditional agri-food product (P.A.T.) of the area.

The Myth of Onano Lentils

These legumes are special because few, like them, have had such important historical documentation citing them. Already in the 16th century, there were municipal ordinances punishing the theft of such crops, and in the following century, they were described as one of the favorite products of the papal court, with a memory traditionally linked to two famous figures, such as Cardinal Prospero Caterini and Pope Pius XII.
Today, Onano lentils, besides being a P.A.T., also benefit from the protection of the Slow Food Presidia.
