Grown in the province of Leon, in Northwest Spain, these beans benefit from warm climates and fertile soils that help develop their smooth interior and consistent quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name manteca means “buttery” in Spanish - a reference to the beans’ soft, velvety texture once cooked. Round and ivory-white in appearance, manteca beans are slightly plumper than standard haricot or navy beans. They cook to a tender, almost silky finish while maintaining their shape, making them ideal for slow-cooked Mediterranean and Spanish dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompared to firmer white beans such as cannellini, manteca beans are creamier and more delicate, with a subtler flavour that absorbs flavour beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Cook Dried Manteca Beans\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse thoroughly under cold water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoak overnight in plenty of water (at least three times their volume).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrain and rinse again.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCover with fresh water and bring to a gentle boil.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSimmer for 1-2 hours until tender, topping up water if needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdd salt towards the end of cooking for the best texture.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Cook Beans from Dried?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFuller flavour - adding aromatics during cooking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuperior texture - creamier and more consistent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo added salt or preservatives\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore economical than tinned beans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreater control over seasoning and doneness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpanish bean stews\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMediterranean vegetable casseroles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlow-cooked tomato dishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBean salads with olive oil and herbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRustic soups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBurcol Dry Round White Manteca Beans are an excellent pantry staple for cooks who value authentic flavour and beautifully creamy texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllergens: none\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIngredients: Dry round white manteca beans\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Burcol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54513264984377,"sku":"fjf1789959110419","price":8.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0997\/7184\/2873\/files\/burcol-dry-round-white-manteca-beans-1kg_1.jpg?v=1789959115","url":"https:\/\/petfirstaidkit.shop\/products\/burcol-dry-round-white-manteca-beans-1kg","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
