Product Information
Fontana Formiello Venere Nero Risotto rice is a Black wholegrain rice grown in the Piedmont region at the foot of the Italian Alps. Since the 15th century, rice has been cultivated in this area.
Venere Nero originates from China, where black or ‘forbidden’ rice was served exclusively to the Emperor and his Court, and believed to have aphrodisiac qualities. In the 1990s, this Chinese black rice variety was crossed with Italian Padano rice, creating a round, medium - grain rice named Venere Nero.
Highly nutritious, it has a nutty, aromatic flavour and firm, slightly chewy texture. Once cooked, the colour of the rice slightly changes from glossy ebony black to a rich, deep violet.
Venere Nero is ideal for rice salads, soups and seafood risottos.
