Baldo Rice in a Glass Jar – 480g
Baldo Rice is a highly versatile rice variety with a rich culinary tradition. Introduced in 1977, it is still considered by many farmers to be the true "King of Rice," even though other popular varieties often take the spotlight. In recent years, Baldo Rice has gained recognition in some of the world’s top kitchens for its exceptional flavor and firm texture.
Key Features:
- Superior Cooking Resistance: Baldo Rice stands out for its excellent cooking resistance. The refined, uniform grains cook to perfection, remaining compact and firm even if cooked slightly longer.
- Rich in Starch: This rice releases a high amount of starch during cooking, making it ideal for creamy, well-blended risottos. It also has an exceptional ability to absorb flavors, enhancing the taste of the ingredients it’s paired with.
This 480g jar provides 6 portions of Baldo Rice (recommended serving: 80g per meal), perfect for creating delicious risottos or other rice-based dishes.
Why Choose Baldo Rice? Baldo Rice is a superfine variety with large, translucent grains, originating from a cross between Arborio and Stirpe 136 rice in the 1970s. Its unique characteristics make it a top choice for risottos, supplì, arancini, and even rice salads. The high starch content and firm texture result in a perfectly creamy yet structured dish every time.
