Produced in the mountain valley of Feneos in the north Peloponnese, ‘Gigantes Feneou’ (commonly known as butter beans) retain their particular characteristics through the cultivation techniques applied by local farmers, which have been handed down from generation to generation, and consists of work by hand, from sowing to drying and cleaning. The exclusive selection, by the farmers themselves, of the seeds for sowing for the following year, has the target of preserving the purity of the plant species.
