Organic Castelluccio Lentils from Casa Corneli

Organic Umbrian Brown Lentils from Italy

Castelluccio lentils—a prized lentil varietal from Umbria, Italy—are beloved for their delicate earthy, nutty flavor, thin skin and supple texture. These Italian brown lentils from Casa Corneli also hold their shape after cooking with the perfect al dente bite. 

How to use

Casa Corneli's organic Castelluccio lentils are our go-to for healthy, satisfying meals in a jiff (they only take 20–25 minutes to cook). Cook a big pot of lentils, drain and toss with a couple glugs of extra virgin olive oil for a week of good eating. Start with this sheet pan dinner winner: Umbrian Lentils with Roasted Cauliflower, Carrots & Carrot Top Chimichurri.  

These Italian brown lentils also take well to long cooking. Cook them low and slow for rich, stick-to-your-ribs ragùs, soups and braises. Their deep, nutty flavor make them the ideal mate for pork chops, sausages and slow-roasted lamb.
