This is the preferred rice of the Veneto region of Italy. The grain is shorter and rounder than other Italian rice varietals in this category. Vialone Nano absorbs more liquid than other varietals, releasing a delicate, starchy, creamy base. The delicate, yet moist, quality of this rice when cooked lends itself extremely well to the seafood or vegetable dishes that are so prominent in the Veneto. In Venice one will find tiny clams and green flakes of parsley studding the creamy risotto base or delicate squash blossoms gently incorporated into the risotto.
