Principato di Lucedio Vialone Nano Rice

Principato di Lucedio, located in Piemonte, has been harvesting rice for over 900 years. This is a very special, single estate rice harvested in the fall and husked to order!

A semifino variety widely planted in the area south of Verona, this is a shorter and rounder grain with an almost pearl-like shape.

Ideal for making sea-food based risotti in the style of Venice, including squid black ink or mixed shell fish, this pebbly rice is also an excellent choice for making rice salads and even paella.

Rolando Beramendi has provided this recipe, Vialone Nano Riso alle Vongole.
