RICE, RICE FIELDS, RISOTTOS:
Agriculture still plays a prominent role in Piedmont, the most western Italian region.
Rice is the main feature: high quality rice, excellent for making “risotto” is produced in the Vercelli area.
In such area more than 100 categories of rice are produced: the most traditional species of rice are protected by special Quality Brands. Baldo: excellent quality and suitable for a wide range of gastronomic possibilities. Arborio: historically renowned rice, it is highly appreciated and the most widely used in Italy. Sant'Andrea: grown in the Baraggia area, it features large and rounded grains and a compact structure. Nuovo Maratelli: production was discontinued for many years but this kind of rice is now grown again. It’s one of the species that marked rice growing history.
