Located in: Dry Goods, Rice

This Italian rice is grown in the Veneto region. The Vialone Nano, with its squat grains, is an excellent rice that absorbs condiments very well and has a good yield in cooking. Much appreciated in the old gastronomical tradition in Veneto and Mantova, it is more suitable for risotto than for soups. It is often combined with the most traditional flavors of these areas, including pumpkin, snails, and game meat. Its popularity got a boost when the infamous Harry's Bar of Venice opened a restaurant in New York, where the chef uses only Vialone Nano when making his risotto.

Comments about Vialone Nano Rice 1kg Bag:

I have made Risotto with Arborio, Carnaroli, and Vialone Nano rices. Of the the three I think Arborio is the easiest to work with but Vialone Nano makes the best risotto. I find it absorbs a little more liquid so you have to be ready for that. If you don't have a little extra stock it won't get cooked to the al dente you need. That said it makes the best creamiest ristto ever. It is nice to find it available here as I never see it in stores.

Having lived in the Veneto for many years I found that Vialone Nano was the very best rice for risotto. I was so happy to find it on igourmet.com since it is impossible to find it locally.

Comments about Vialone Nano Rice 1kg Bag:

This is the royalty of all the rices used for risotto. I love how it's very short but gets very plump, and still has a little bite to it when it is done. Very nice rice for risotto. I have not used arborio rice in years; I much prefer vialone, and if I don't have any on hand, I use caranoli (which is also really good, I just prefer vialone nano).

Use the red cow parmigiano reggiano for a truly over-the-top top-notch risotto.
