Grown since the 16th century on the plateau of Lamon and now the synonym of top quality bean, the spagnolèt bean is one of the four varieties grown by the small farmers in the highlands and are marked with protected designation of origin (PDO).

They are large and round, an off-white colour with bright red streaks and the variety is highly popular due to its properties and delicate flavour. They are perfect for salads, hors d’oeuvres and as side dishes.  The Lamon Bean has some of the highest protein content for a bean.  23 grams of protein in a serving of just less than 2 ounces.
