Tarbais Beans

Tarbais beans are a prized French white bean from the southwest region near the Pyrenees, known for their large size, thin skin, and exceptionally creamy texture. When cooked, they become tender and buttery while still holding their shape, with a delicate, slightly nutty flavor that absorbs surrounding ingredients beautifully. They are best known as the traditional bean used in cassoulet, where their texture and ability to take on rich flavors make them essential.

To prepare, rinse and soak overnight for even cooking, then simmer gently in fresh water or stock for about 60–90 minutes until tender, adding salt toward the end. Tarbais beans are ideal for slow-cooked dishes like cassoulet, braises, and stews, but also work well in simpler preparations dressed with olive oil, herbs, and aromatics. Their creamy consistency and structure make them equally suited for composed plates and rustic cooking. Available in 11-pound and 22-pound formats, they’re designed for foodservice kitchens and high-volume use.
