1.1lb bag | Principato di Lucedio Riso | three varieties (select above)

Imported Italian Rice

Principato di Lucedio harvests their rice in September and October, and stores it intack until orders are received, at which time it is husked and packaged. The owner insists on using cloth bags to allow the living rice to breathe. Principato di Lucedio's rice has no equals!

Riso ARBORIO | the best-known and most popular of the superfino variety of Italian rice. Its high starch content is released in the slow cooking process of risotto, creating a creamy, butter-like consistency.

Riso CARNAROLI | considered the king of Italian rices, Carnaroli produces the creamiest risotto and is preferred by chefs. The plant is more delicate than other strains and has fewer grains of rice per stalk. The superior size and plumpness of the grain become apparent when it's cooked. 

Riso VIALONE NANO | preferred rice in the kitchens of Venice, Vialone Nano absorbs more liquid than other varieties and plumps up beautifully when cooked. It's the perfect choice for moister risottos of the Venice region, especially those flavored with vegetables or seafood.
