Description

Bring the genuine taste of Italian regional cooking to your kitchen with Cirio 1856 Cannellini Beans (Fagioli Cannellini). Selected and processed by Cirio according to traditional Italian standards, these tender white beans are cooked to a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture while keeping their shape intact.
