Brief History: Only recently commercial crops of this product has been rediscovered. Widespread in the pre-industrial era - when it used to be sold at the neighboring markets of Crespano, Asolo and Bassano - it has suffered a halt after the 1950s, following the progressive abandonment of local agriculture, only being produced for household use. However, starting from 1983, an association has started promoting this particular pea through a series of initiatives aimed to bring back its production on a large-scale, becoming once again a highly sought-after product.
