Our Roveja, a local variety, is grown using integrated production methods, in rotation with cereals and without the use of chemical fertilisers. After harvesting, the seeds are carefully selected and treated with CO2 for 3-6 weeks, then packaged in a protective atmosphere to preserve their organoleptic qualities.
Before cooking, we recommend a quick rinse with visual selection and soaking for 12 hours. The ideal cooking time to obtain a tender but firm legume and preserve all its nutritional properties is about 2 hours.
Roveja (Pisum sativum ssp. Arvense) is an ancient legume belonging to the Fabaceae family, traditionally grown in the Apennine areas of Umbria. It is a rare and precious product with a strong, slightly herbaceous flavour, similar to that of wild peas, of which it is a variety.
The seed is round, varying in colour from dark green to purplish brown, with an average diameter of about 4-5 millimetres and a thin skin that gives it a pleasantly rustic texture.
