Our great Golden Age writer, Quevedo, left us his highest praise of this humble pulse from the village of Fuentesaúco when he wrote of its famous tenderness. In doing so, he gave the best gastronomical review ever written about this product, which has grown in quality over the years. Today, gourmets value the product most highly because its refined, buttery texture cannot be compared with any other; and dieticians recommend chickpeas as part of a healthy diet.
