Italian Balilla rice is a small, round-grain rice that absorbs a lot of liquid when cooked. It is therefore ideal for porridge, soups, rice desserts, and various kinds of timbale, croquettes, arancini and supplì risotto balls. It takes about 10 minutes to cook.
Description
Cascina Venerìa's Carnaroli malted grain rice is grown and processed in Piedmont in northern Italy. Cascina Venerìa is the largest single-family rice producer in Europe. It relies on environmentally friendly production methods, including its own water sources.
The farm also takes care to maintain the diversity of rice varieties by producing and storing its own seed rice. Many different varieties of seed rice are produced.
Cascina Venerìa uses only the highest quality and traditional methods in its rice processing. In Baldo rice and other bleached rice, the bleaching itself is done only with natural millstones, without the use of chemicals. After the bleaching process, the grains are subjected to a further sifting process and any damaged grains are removed.
Finally, the rice is packed in cardboard packaging, where it is allowed to "breathe". Cascina Venerìa does not want to vacuum-pack the rice, but because it is a 'living' and organic product, it wants to allow it to be exposed to oxygen.
