Cece Nero Biologico Viola are organic Italian black chickpeas (Cicer Arietinum), historically originating from Turkey and cultivated in Italy. Sown in March and harvested from late July to August, these rare legumes stand out for their distinctive and intense flavor.
Perfect in delicious salads, especially with lemon-infused octopus or combined with radicchio and fresh tomatoes. Paired with borlotti beans and Tuscan kale, they create wonderfully hearty and flavorful soups. Blended into a purée with medium-fruity extra virgin olive oil, they become an exceptional side dish for freshwater fish.
