S.Andrea PDO Rice in glass jar - 500g
S.Andrea PDO rice originates in the Baraggia region, a historic area of Piedmont where rice cultivation has been documented since the 1500s and where unique soil and climate conditions give rise to a product of absolute excellence.
Baraggia is today the only region in Italy to boast a Protected Designation of Origin for rice, safeguarding a rigorous supply chain that guarantees consistent origin, quality, and characteristics over time.
Characteristics
S.Andrea PDO rice is perfect, especially if you want to prepare a "risotto all'onda" (wavy risotto). Let's see why.
S.Andrea PDO has a long, semi-tapered, and pearly grain.
Its richness in starch makes it ideal for creamy and perfectly emulsified risottos, but it also excels in soups, stews, minestrone, and traditional Piedmontese dishes like panissa or rice and beans.
Cultivated with care in the lands of Baraggia Biellese, it boasts PDO quality and brings the authenticity and culinary tradition of Piedmont to the table, uniting history and taste in every grain.
In this package, you will find a 500g jar of our rice.
The recommended portion of rice per meal is 80g: using our practical dispenser, you will have 6 generous servings per jar.
Information
S. Andrea rice is a Long A variety appreciated for its versatility and consistent quality.
It features a semi-tapered grain with a small pearl and a low amylose content, which ensures a soft but not sticky texture.
