Arborio Rice

Arborio rice has extremely large grains and is the best-loved in Italy. During boiling, the heat penetrates the external layer first, whilst the nucleus, which is rich in starch, keeps its bite. It is mainly used for risottos: the high starch content allows it to become deliciously creamy.

All regulatory authorities have certified and recognized the peculiarities of Reperso and have labeled it as new and unique.

Brown rice

Brown rice is so called because of its production method in which only the outer sheath is removed leaving the layers underneath; because of this, it is full of proteins, fibre and minerals which are beneficial to humans.
