A whole-grain rice propagated from a mixed strain variety. Nutty and firm!
Perfect for rice salads and combining with strong flavours
A 'nostrale' or common spontaneous Italian rice
Grown in the Po Valley, north east Italy
Traditional stone husking
A deliciously nutty wild red rice from the Vercelli rice farmers in the Po Valley of Piemonte. Its quality lies in both the grain selection and traditional stone husking, a gentle process that results in optimum nutrient and flavour. This firm and nutty spontaneous, or wild red rice is fantastic when combined with strong, hearty flavours and often used in salads. The rice is vacuum packed to maintain quality. It requires a longer cooking time - about 40 minutes. It can be served on its own, as an accompaniment to other dishes or in salads, adding its unusual deep red colour and taste.
