Umbrian Lentil

A tier

Umbrian lentils describe small central-Italian pulses in the Castelluccio tradition—whether strictly IGP or regional cousins—with thin skins, quick tenderness, and sweet-savoury depth. They suit minimalist Italian preparations better than heavy curry spicing, though they adapt. Cook gently; dress with new oil and black pepper. A broader label when Castelluccio branding is absent but style matches. Excellent winter sides. Home cooks who specialise in Italian Side often keep Umbrian Lentil on a shortlist because Central Italian Small character shows clearly on the plate.
