Features

• AMONG THE BEST RICE IN THE WORLD. Riso Nano Vialone Veronese I.G.P is one of the finest Italian rice. Extremely versatile for the various preparations, it expresses its maximum in risottos. It is presented in squat grains and, due to its organoleptic qualities, its resistance in cooking and its versatility in the kitchen is considered by international chefs to be among the best rice in the world.
• NANO VIALONE VERONESE I.G.P. Nano Vialone Veronese is a Protected Geographical Indication that refers only to rice obtained from seeds rigorously selected from the japonica species of the Vialone Nano variety. The genuineness of variety, the methods used for cultivation, processing and presenting this rice to the consumer are controlled by the Consortium for the Protection of Vialone Nano Veronese Rice.
• FEATURES & PECULIARITIES. The vialone nano grains have a round shape and are of medium size, being about 5-6 millimeters long. The characteristics of the grain are the blunt tooth, the squat shape, and the very extended central pearl. When cooked, the center of the grain remains "al dente" and releases an abundant amount of starch during cooking, but its high amylose content allows it to maintain its shape and absorb a lot of liquid.
• COOKING & PAIRING SUGGESTIONS. The Vialone Nano is particularly suitable for the preparation of risottos and soups, thanks to its ability to release the starch during cooking. It is, therefore, a variety that remains compact and that cooks in about 14/15 minutes. This variety is particularly suitable for the preparation of Risotto with vegetables such as asparagus, squash, radicchio, mushrooms, and artichokes and for meat-based Risotto such as beef and duck.
