EROICO 2023 RICE — Nuovo Nostrale Bianco — Una Garlanda

White rice for risotto

A blend of medium, round and long A rice grains, bringing the vitality of evolutionary mixtures to your table.

“Strength in unity”: originally, rice too grew without the divisions imposed by names, varieties, genealogies or groups.

Mixtures of highly diverse local seeds, or ecotypes, were simply called Nostrale. They were grown and eaten for centuries, adapting to the environment and its changes thanks to that diversity.

The 350 g natural cotton bag, presented in its Eroico box, makes a lovely gift for holidays, special occasions or wedding favours. An 850 g version is also available. Eroico is also available in 4 kg and 20 kg bulk packs on request.

MORE THAN ORGANIC, BIODIVERSE! CERTIFIED FROM SEED TO PLATE

Sun-dried.

WHAT MAKES THIS RICE EROICO?

THE LAND: Baraggia, the “savannah of Piedmont”, with its precious red soils, is so difficult to farm that it was described as a land unable to provide a livelihood.

THE CLIMATE: At the foot of snow-capped Monte Rosa, our rice fields face low temperatures, producing small harvests of outstanding quality.

THE SEED: Strong, hardy and self-reliant, Eroico belongs to the heritage varieties shaped by nature that Una Garlanda preserves and grows today.

THE CULTIVATION: Entirely natural, more than organic: biodiverse. Reproduced without synthetic chemicals or technological aids, surrounded by hundreds of life forms in a wild environment and tended with love, our seeds grow hardy and strong, becoming heroes.
