Giant Smilyan beans grown organically without the use of agricultural chemicals, along the upper reaches of the Arda River in the pristine Rhodope Mountain, Bulgaria - an area with a typical mountain climate, where the autumn-winter season is relatively mild and the summer is cool. Other factors that predetermine the unique quality of Smilyan beans are the high altitude and pure mountain air and natural humidity.
Because it is completely worked by hand in a tiny geographic area, the total current production is limited to only about 30 tons per year..
