Riso S. Andrea PDO - 1kg in recyclable paper

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.

Today, Baraggia is 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 particularly perfect for preparing a "wavy" risotto. Let's see why.

S.Andrea PDO has long, semi-tapered, and pearly grains.

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 your table, combining history and taste in every grain.

In this package, you will find 1kg of Carnaroli PDO rice.

You can use this package as a "refill" for your jars.

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: this ensures a soft yet non-sticky texture.
