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.
Wide grain Italian rice enriched with iron and essential vitamins. Vacuum packed for freshness. No cholesterol. Low fat.
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.
Carnaroli is considered the “king of rices” it Italy, for its superior texture, large grains, and sweet flavor. FOG Smoked Carnaroli by Gli Aironi is smoked with cherry wood for 14 hours resulting in a rice with soft woody notes. Use in classic risotto recipes for a delicately smokey flavor, or simply boil in salted water, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and serve with meat, fish or vegetables.
For the past five generations, Gli Aironi has focused on improving farming conditions in the Vercelli region of northern Italy, implementing less invasive agriculture and restoring the local ecosystem. Their rice is minimally processed, retaining part of the germ where protein and vitamins A, D, E, and K are present. This is impossible with industrial processing methods, which cannot guarantee the retention of nutrients. The company constantly seeks perfection, assisted by food scientist Michele Perinotti, and has led international chefs (including Jamie Oliver) to choose Gli Aironi rice.
It is a short grain variety with a pearled color. Its size is equivalent to that of the short grain rice, sometimes even smaller, yet Bomba rice more than doubles its size when cooked. Its main characteristic is its great capacity to absorb flavors and aromas and that when cooked it is always “al dente,” loose and whole.
