Prized Italian Lentils from Castelluccio
In the hills of southern Umbria, the Bartolini family have been growing olives, grains, and what they call pulses (legumes) since the 1850's. Their lentils are famous throughout Italy and beyond for their rich, nutty flavor, supple texture and ability to hold their shape after cooking. Plus these tiny pulses only take about 20–25 minutes to cook (hello quick meals!).
The prized pulses are beloved by chefs and home cooks alike (we even have some customers who buy them buy the case!). Our tip: Cook a big batch of lentils and use them for tasty, healthful meals all week long—add them to salads, sautés or make our vegetarian sheet pan dinner for Umbrian Lentils with Roasted Cauliflower, Carrots and Carrot Top Chimichurri.

These lentils are superb for Italian soups and other recipes. They are hard to find now and I was delighted to be able to order them from Market Hall Foods.
The Umbrian lentils have a special test which makes the lentil soup appetizing. They are good for your health as they are rich in protein and low in carbs.
Umbrian Lentils from Bartolini
Once I had Bartolini Umbrian lentils, I never wanted anything else. So much better than regular brown lentils. My favorite dish for these lentils: mix a little fresh lemon juice and honey until the honey is dissolved, add al dente cooked lentils, serve with plain yogurt and fresh avocado on top. Incredible!
These lentils are small and cook quickly into delicious soup.
