## Description

This whole grain rice has naturally black grains. This Italian variety is obtained by a hybridation of a whole grain together with an Asian variety. This is not genetically modified, it undergoes many growing seasons to become stable. The result is a riso venere that can survive Vercelli's colder winter temperatures. The grains are medium-large and are highly nutritious - especially in iron and selenium. Its deep black color turns deep purple when cooked, developing an "intoxicating" aroma and a rich nutty flavor. It has a dense texture and striking color. Makes a great side dish, a cold rice salad or even rice pudding. The flavor complements shellfish and vegetables. Amazing with fava beans! Mix with white rice for interest and flavor. Use whenever you want to make a colorful splash on your plate. The small, quiet town of Desana has several beautiful attractions. A medieval castle, a charming bed and breakfast and a delicious risotteria, Ristorante Oryza. - all owned and run by the Vercellone family. Stunning views of rice fields abound just outside the town in the province of Vercelli in the Piedmont region. The Vercellone family grows their incredibly high quality rices in these fields the old fashioned way. Known as the Agricultural Farm Tenuta Castello, the area covers a surface of 320 hectares, of which 250 hectares are dedicated to rice cultivation, while the remaining are devoted to spelt, corn and poplars. They follow the whole agricultural and food chain of production, from the preparation of the soil up to the harvesting, from the plant processing in the farm with old stone grinding machines up to the packaging. This guarantees a product which has been controlled in each transforming phase. In order to protect and to increase the value of Italian rice, Tenuta Castello is a charter member and company promoter of a consortium for all Italian Varieties guardianship - " Consorzio Tutela Riso".
