Vialone Nano rice

Vialone Nano is an Italian white rice with short, plump grains, which have a creamy consistency when cooked. They are commonly used in risotto dishes and have a high starch content. Since Italian rice varieties contain more starch than other types of rice, it is important not to rinse the rice before or after cooking in order to retain the natural Italian flavor provided by the starch. Vialone Nano Rice is available in well-stocked supermarkets and Italian markets.
