Hienz use a White/Navy (Haricot) bean, but I am sure they have their own specific strain. I believe Cannellini is a variant.
An American friend of mine used to grow her own here in the UK and would bake them with brown sugar, salt and her own special Barbeque sauce.
As for where you can buy them, I'm afraid I don't know...
