Campanini Vialone Nano

The Campanini family, now in its third generation, supplies some of the best restaurants in northern Italy with its naturally-grown rice from Veneto and Lombardia. Custom-milled and produced in small lots, traditional varieties of rice produced by Campanini absorb liquid and flavor while maintaining a firm texture and pure flavor. The regional rice of Veneto, Vialone Nano is a round, short-grain rice (nano means “dwarf”) perfectly suited to rich, cream-based risotto. The round shape of its grains enables it to absorb twice its weight in liquid, making for incredibly flavorful and rich dishes. It has a cooking time of only about 15 minutes.
