Rancho Gordo Occhio della Capra (Eye of the Goat Italiano)

RICH, HEARTY, BROTHY, AND BOLD. 
CALIFORNIA GROWN FROM ITALIAN SEED.

Limited production.

One of our most popular beans, Ojo de Cabra (Eye of the Goat), has been a problematic crop. We think we've figured things out, and we'll be offering it again in the future, but we found some Italian seed stock, and it did pretty well! Grown on the West Coast, it's very similar to Ojo de Cabra but not exactly the same so we're calling this one Occhio della Capra. Still thin-skinned, rich, and hearty, this is a winner. 

Remember that CH is a hard K sound in Italian, so you'd say Oak-Yo for Occhio, but we will only pay a little attention and no judging!

Good for Pot beans, refried beans, soups, chili, casseroles, dips.

Try cooking these beans simply, in order to really enjoy what makes them so special. For this bean in particular, we implore you to enjoy a bowl with nothing more than minced white onion and a squeeze of lime juice, or a drizzle of your best olive oil. Once you've done that, feel free to get out a ham hock, or start a pot of chili.
