The fields are irrigated with springwater, and the rice is milled very carefully using a kind of mortar. Ferron Vialone Nano is unparalleled for risotto; the short-grain rice binds intimately with other ingredients but the grains retain their shape and remain al dente. From Veneto.

Rice (bot. Oryza sativa) has its origins in China, where the plant was first successfully cultivated over 7000 years ago. The important staple food is grown today on almost every continent. Rice is divided into two major subspecies: the Indica and Japonica varieties. The former category includes only long-grain rice such as basmati rice from India or American long-grain rice; the latter includes only medium- and short-grain types such as the rice from Spain (for making paella) or Italy (for risotto), or the red rice from the Camargue. Wild rice, on the other hand, is not rice at all in the botanical sense, but rather a grass —which however is closely related to rice.
