      The cultivation of legumes on the L'Aquila plateaus is a very ancient practice; in the case of the Santo Stefano di Sessanio lentil, it is documented since the 10th century, even before the foundation of the same village, dated to the 12th-13th century. At the time the territory was controlled by the abbey of San Vincenzo al Volturno and the first sources to mention the cultivation of lentils are precisely the monastic documents.
      The cultivation was then carried on by the Barony of Carapelle and by the Medici Lordship who controlled the territory until the 18th century; after the unification of Italy, the lentil of Santo Stefano di Sessanio appears as a typical product in some important sources such as The Ancient Industries of the province of Aquila by Teodoro Bonanni d'Ocre.
      In 2008 the local producers got together in a consortium to preserve the typicality of the product.
