Cassoulet Beans

Large, white and super-creamy, the cassoulet bean is ideally suited to the slow-cooked goodness of a cassoulet. All the various meats and seasonings mingle with the mild but sturdy beans and, with a little effort, you have one of the classic dishes of southwest France. Due to its versatility and texture, we also love this as a pot bean, and in salads, casseroles, soup, pasta e fagioli, dips...you name it.
