Pinto Bean from Alava

The Pinto Bean from Alava plays a leading role in many traditional Basque and Alavese dishes. One of the best known is the “Alubiada”, a wholesome and comforting stew where beans are slow-cooked with black pudding, chorizo, bacon, and sometimes peppers and other vegetables.

This dish is especially popular in the colder months, providing a hearty and nutritious meal.
