Riso Melotti, Vialone Nano

This special PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) Vialone Nano rice comes from a family owned and operated farm in Isola della Scala, Verona. Since 1986, Giusepppe Melotti, and his family have been producing high quality types of rice with passion and love. The rice is sold only in specialized places, like quality food shops, gastronomies, and specialized restaurants, veering away from large retail distribution. DiPaloSelects is proud to be one of the few retailers.

In particular, the Vialone Nano is a smaller grain of rice with a creamy characteristic. It is often used for a rich Risotto, or with meatstock.

DiPalo’s uses this creamy Vialone Nano in our home made rice balls!
