Rice is one of the oldest food plants and is native to Southeast Asia.

The introduction in Italy seems to have occurred first in the south by the Arabs and the Spaniards.

Rice cultivation in the Po Delta dates back to 1400, although extensive and organized production only developed in the 16th century, thanks to the Este family, who managed to exploit the marshy lands that would otherwise have remained abandoned.

Carnaroli rice from Delta del Po Igp has a large, crystalline, compact grain with a high protein content.

The culture media are characterized by a slow draining capacity and high salinity;

they are also endowed with high mineral fertility, in particular potassium.

These characteristics give the rice a particular aroma and flavor, greater resistance to cooking and a high protein content of the grain.

Few foods are so versatile in the kitchen: starting with the appetizer and ending with the dessert, you can prepare a whole meal with rice.

However, it is necessary to know how to choose the right type for each dish.

The Carnaroli PGI variety is the most loved by great chefs, especially for prestigious risottos and typical regional dishes.
