Riso Melotti Nano Vialone Veronese IGP – Premium Italian Rice for Risotto – Medium Grain, High Starch Release – Ideal for Creamy Risotto, Paella, Rice Salads & Side Dishes – 2.2lb (1kg) Bag

Riso Melotti Nano Vialone Veronese IGP is considered one of the world’s finest risotto rices, loved by chefs and home cooks alike for its unique balance of creaminess, bite, and flavor absorption. Grown exclusively in 24 municipalities in the Bassa Veronese region of Verona, Italy, this rice benefits from centuries-old farming techniques, cultivated in immersion using natural spring waters from resurgence basins (fontanili). Its squat, medium-sized grains measure about 5–6 mm and feature a blunt tooth and extended central pearl. This distinctive structure, along with its high amylose content, allows the rice to release abundant starch while maintaining shape. The result? Perfectly creamy risottos, flavorful paella, and beautifully textured pilaf dishes. Thanks to moderate processing, Nano Vialone retains more fiber, vitamins, and proteins than heavily polished rice varieties, making it as nutritious as it is delicious. Certified IGP (Indicazione Geografica Protetta), every bag guarantees authenticity, traceability, and the unmistakable taste of Verona’s finest rice. Whether you’re making a luxurious saffron risotto, a vibrant seafood paella, or a wholesome vegetable pilaf, Riso Melotti Nano Vialone Veronese IGP will deliver exceptional results every time.
