The giant of Spanish beans, with five centuries of history behind it. ZONA Judión Butter Beans are the legendary Judión de La Granja — an enormous, luxuriously creamy butter bean grown in the fertile farmlands of La Granja de San Ildefonso in Segovia, where it has been cultivated since the early 16th century. Legend holds the bean was carried back from the Americas and planted by Isabel Farnesio, wife of King Felipe V, and it has been a jewel of Spanish gastronomy ever since. Picked fresh, delicately cooked, and packed in natural brine to hold its remarkable texture all year round. The character of this bean is the scale and the softness. The Judión belongs to the Phaseolus coccineus family and grows far larger than an ordinary butter bean — plump, pale, and impressively sized, with a naturally sweet flavor, a buttery texture, and a meaty consistency that makes it satisfying enough to anchor a dish on its own. There's no soaking, no hours of simmering, no guesswork. The beans arrive perfectly cooked and ready, holding their shape and their creamy interior straight from the jar, so all the work of a traditional Spanish bean dish is already done for you. Serve them warm as a simple tapa with good olive oil, flaky salt, and a dusting of pimentón. Fold them into a hearty fish or seafood stew where they drink in the broth and turn silky. Simmer them into a classic Spanish bean dish, purée them into a luxurious side, or dress them cold with sherry vinegar and herbs for a bean salad that eats like a main. They're equally at home beside roasted meats, tucked into a soup, or spooned straight from the jar — the kind of pantry staple that turns a handful of ingredients into a genuine meal. Perfect for: Tapas, fish and seafood stews, Spanish bean dishes, bean purées, warm and cold bean salads, sides for roasted and grilled meats, soups, vegetarian mains, and any dish that wants the sweet, buttery richness of authentic Judión de La Granja.
