Faba Asturiana IGP from Fabas La Estela is a representative example of the traditional “Granja Asturiana” bean, cultivated under the Protected Geographical Indication scheme within the Asturias region. It is characterized by large, flattened grains with a creamy white color and a very thin skin, which allows it to maintain its shape during cooking while developing a notably smooth and buttery texture.

The beans are grown on the producer’s own fields in western Asturias, where cultivation follows strict IGP standards, including controlled seed selection, regulated farming practices, and careful harvesting. A key aspect of their process is manual selection, ensuring uniformity and eliminating damaged grains before packaging.

In culinary use, this bean is essential for preparing Fabada Asturiana, as it absorbs flavors effectively and contributes to a dense, cohesive broth. Its flavor profile is mild yet rich, making it versatile for pairing with meats, cured products, or even seafood.

Fabas La Estela positions this product as a high-quality raw ingredient, where the final result reflects both the specific variety and the precision applied throughout the production chain.
