RISERVA SAN MASSIMO - Vialone Nano rice 1 Kg

The Riserva San Massimo Vialone Nano Rice is a semi-fine rice variety with medium-sized, round grains measuring approximately 5 to 6 mm. It is ideal for preparing soups, broths, croquettes, rice salads, and the famous arancini. Its cooking time is 14 to 15 minutes. Packaged in a protective atmosphere, it is available in a transparent 1 kg bag.

Thanks to the care taken in its cultivation and protective-atmosphere packaging (MAP), this rice preserves the authentic aromas of the rice paddies.

In the kitchen, it is suitable for a multitude of preparations: rice salads, refined risottos, stir-fried rice, or simply boiled in water, where it fully reveals its quality.

The Riserva San Massimo, a vast natural estate spanning more than 800 hectares, is one of the most valuable environments in the Lombard Park of the Ticino Valley. Agricultural land, heathland, preserved forest rich in natural springs, and paths lined with local fruit trees follow one another harmoniously, creating an exceptional landscape where remarkable biodiversity thrives and wild animals find an ideal habitat.

Classified as a Site of Community Importance (SCI) since 2004, and subsequently designated in part as a Special Protection Area (SPA) thanks to the richness of its ecosystems, Riserva San Massimo constitutes an important ecological corridor within Ticino Park. This continuity between different habitats promotes genetic exchange between plant species, wildlife migration, and the preservation of biodiversity.

It is in this exceptional environment that Riserva San Massimo rice is cultivated, a very high-quality Authentic Carnaroli produced exclusively within the reserve from the finest certified seeds of the 100% Carnaroli variety.

This rice bears the “Parco Ticino – Produzione Controllata” certification, which distinguishes farms that use cultivation methods with low environmental impact.
