Description
Roveja is the legume “found” in the territory, a small wild pea that, in recent decades, has been re-evaluated in much of the Valnerina, also reaching privileged positions in certain kitchens and environments.
What distinguishes this legume from its “peers” at a glance is its shape and color. It is almost perfectly spherical, let’s say similar to the classic peas, with a more wrinkled skin (it is however a dry legume) and with absolutely variegated colors. In the same crop we can find, in fact, some percentages of greener, more brown or more “gray” roveja. The final dish, therefore, is absolutely colorful and the product on sale always has an inviting appearance.
In our ecommerce you can buy both the classic version of roveja and the organic version, produced with the utmost respect for the surrounding environment.
