Like the cultivations of east asia, the vialone nano is cultivated in immersion in the area of ​​the bassa veronese, characterized by resurgences, or fontanilli, basins where the water of the strata accumulates, meeting clay layers and emerging in marshy formations, very rich in flora and fauna and often protected by naturalistic oases.The vialone nano is currently produced in 24 municipalities in the province of verona.

Features

The vialone nano grains have a round shape and are of medium size, being about 5-6 millimeters long. The characteristics of the grain are the blunt tooth, the squat shape, and the very extended central pearl. The percentage of vialone nano starch is lower than that of carnaroli rice: in fact, some chefs whisk it with a whisk to allow a greater release of starches.

Presentation: comes in presentation of 1kg.

Packing: rice is packed in a food-grade paper bag.

Anaquel life: more than 6 months.

Conservation: keep in a place without light, freco and without humidity.
