Baldo rice in glass jar - 480g
Baldo rice is a very traditional rice, very versatile, used in the kitchen to make different recipes. Although this rice variety was only introduced in 1977, other more famous varieties are still often preferred today but for farmers in our areas this is the true "King of rice".
Especially in recent years, the doors of some of the most important world cuisines have opened to this tasty, consistent rice, capable of masterfully cooking.
Characteristics
As mentioned, Baldo rice is perfect especially if you want to prepare a risotto. Let's see what the main reasons are:
Perfect resistance to cooking : Baldo rice is among the best rices when it comes to resistance to cooking. The grain, refined and consistent, holds up perfectly when cooked without becoming floury, but on the contrary remains compact even if it cooks a few minutes longer.
Rich in starch : Baldo rice releases a lot of starch during cooking, and for this reason it is recommended for the preparation of creamy and well-blended risottos. Furthermore, it has an excellent ability to absorb condiments, enhancing the taste of the raw materials with which it is combined.
In this package you will find a 480g jar of our rice.
Why 480g? The recommended portion of rice per meal is 80g: using our practical dispenser you will have 6 portions per jar available.
Information
