Arborio, the best known superfino variety of Italian rice, traditionally forms the basis of risotto. Its high starch content is released in the slow cooking process, creating a creamy, butter-like consistency. Arborio grains are round and fat with a pearly-looking sheen. Like other rices, Arborio is a member of the grass family.
Thai jasmine rice is recognized around the world as having the finest quality–it’s Thailand’s principle export product. Jasmine rice was developed years ago in Thailand. The agricultural name is Khao Dawk Mali 105, rice with a distinctive jasmine scent, also known locally as Khao Hom Mali. Very aromatic and fresh, all of our jasmine rice has a fantastic aroma, consistency, and we regard this as the best Thai jasmine rice exported from Thailand.
Our Bamboo rice is an all-natural, short-grain Asian white rice that has been infused with bamboo juice, giving it extra moisture, a slight jasmine green tea taste and a gorgeous jade green color. After it is cooked, bamboo rice is usually moist and sticky, but still light and fluffy, making it a perfect choice for sushi as well as risotto and dessert puddings. While rice is often an unnoticed part of a meal, this exotic, hard-to-find rice takes center stage because of its striking, bright green color, fragrant aroma and delicate, herbal taste. One cup dry yields 2 cups cooked.
Imported from Piedmont, Italy, Acquerello Carnaroli Rice is the perfect, always ideal dente rice for risotto and more. The Rondolini Family has been harvesting rice on their estate, Tenuta Colombara in the province of Vercelli in Piemonte since 1935. It’s the richest, because it is aged for at least one year in refrigerated silos. Starch is more stable and flavor enhanced. It’s the tastiest, because it’s the only rice whitened with a helix, a gentle method which leaves the grain intact. It’s the healthiest, because thanks to a patented process the rice germ is absorbed in the grains, giving them all the nutritional values of brown rice.
Basmati Rice tastes like no other rice on earth – a tantalizing flavor and a magical aroma. This delightful rice is so simple to prepare with its longer, whiter grains that cook up light, fluffy and separate. Basmati is a unique rice that grows only in the foothills of the Himalayas where it is watered by snow fed rivers and hand tendered by dedicated farmers. Available in 25 LB master sacks or 5 LB partial bags.
