Riso Scotti, Vialone "Nano" Rice for Risotto,1 kg (2.2 lbs) box, Cryovac Bag for ultimate freshness

Really wonderful rice. Have ordered it multiple times. Have even cooked it in an Instapot with creamy results. Always arrives packed air tight.

Wonderful for risotto

Wanted to be able to make a risotto dish for a tail gaiting meal. This worked well and was quicker than normal and very easy to use. Would get it again for sure

Of all the different types of rice I have used for risotto, the vialone nanno was the best. I especially liked the textured.

Yes, it's expensive. Yes it's for rice snobs. But yes-- it's excellent rice. One of my staples along with vialone nano or for making risotto that melts in your mouth. Scotti provides this is heavy walled vacuum sealed bags-- which are usually consumed within a few weeks of arrival. It's a reliable brand. I usually reseal the bags and I never wash this rice before cooking with it. This is very different for other kinds of rice.

You can’t get this in the supermarket, and usually not even at an Italian grocery store. Highly recommended over Arborio.

This rice is not good for creamy rice pudding - it has a earthy, "whole wheat-type" flavor to it that's off-putting in a rice pudding which should be creamy and rice shouldn't compete with vanilla. Would only be good for savory dishes.

Bought as a gift, came damaged, cannot return.
