The world’s most famous black rice revealed its form and quality at the international food show, the first in-person event of its kind in 2021.
Following the exclusive, worldwide distribution agreement signed with Sapise, which holds the trademark rights for Venere rice, Riso Scotti has debuted its line of rice for the Italian and international markets.
Venere rice features a one-of-a-kind color and flavor as well as unparalleled versatility and the health benefits typical of whole-grain rice, but which also come from its anthocyanins, which act as a powerful antioxidant. A rice of Italian origin, it is grown solely in the rice paddies of Vercelli, Novara and the Tirso Valley of Sardinia. Venere rice also benefits from a value chain that ensures product traceability, and it is processed using sustainable techniques that make it possible to certify the product to SAI Platform standards, thereby reducing the environmental impact of the rice growing process. Riso Scotti can now offer the unique characteristics and performance of this rice to the world, promoting the Italian origins and excellent versatility that make Venere rice ideally suited to the best rice dishes enjoyed in cuisines on virtually every continent.
