We collaborate with small producers to ensure sustainability and quality
At laBalocchina, we believe that sustainability and quality go hand in hand. That's why we've chosen to collaborate with small-scale rice producers, freeing them from the grip of rice market speculation. By offering them a fairer price, we contribute not only to the economic well-being of local farms, but also to the creation of a more ethical and transparent supply chain.
Cultivation with care: rice that grows in the earth, not in the market.
The small producers we work with are dedicated to growing rice using traditional methods passed down through generations, with a keen eye for environmental sustainability. They avoid the use of harsh pesticides, respect the soil's natural cycles, and often employ innovative regenerative agriculture techniques. The result? Rice grown with passion, rich in flavor and values.
Reduced environmental impact, strengthened communities
Supporting small-scale producers means contributing to the conservation of local biodiversity and the protection of water resources. These businesses, often rooted in rural areas, preserve native rice varieties and protect ecosystems from intensive practices. Furthermore, they strengthen local communities, providing employment opportunities and stimulating healthy local economies.
From the land to the table: quality you can feel
The rice we bring to your table tells a story of commitment, respect, and love for the land. It's not simply an ingredient: it's the fruit of a transparent, sustainable, and profoundly human process. Each grain embodies the work of expert hands and the desire to offer authentic food.
The organoleptic profile of classic Carnaroli
Classic Carnaroli is considered the king of Italian rice, and not by chance, because its structure is unique:
-
Long and firm grain , with excellent cooking resistance
-
High starch content , making it perfect for creamy and well-mixed risottos
-
Delicate and slightly sweet flavour , capable of enhancing any type of seasoning without overpowering it
-
Velvety texture , which gives the palate a rounded and enveloping sensation
Grown using traditional methods and carefully selected, the Classic Carnaroli we use at laBalocchina is the result of a perfect balance between nature, technique, and passion. It's the ideal rice for those seeking uncompromising culinary excellence.
