It is a historical chickpea faithful to its ancestral way of growing as it was produced in the past without fertilisers, in an ideal climate in Valencia del Ventoso, in the province of Badajoz.

It is a floury chickpea, with a very thin skin and a buttery flavour. It has a high starch content which makes it absorb the flavours of the ingredients added to it while cooking.
