Principato di Lucedio Vialone Nano Rice

Ventian-Favorite for Fish and Seafood Dishes

Vialone Nano rice—from renowned Italian rice producer Principato di Lucedio—is beloved in the coastal Veneto region of Italy. These pebbly, pearl-like grains are shorter and rounder than other Italian rice varietals.

The delicate flavor of the rice lends itself well to fish, seafood and vegetable-based dishes. In Venice, you might enjoy Vialone Nano rice in a risotto studded with tiny vongele and flecks of parsley or one with fresh squash blossoms gently folded in.

Vialone Nano—like other types of Italian rice like Carnaroli and Arborio—is traditionally used in risotto preparations. In Venice, it's often paired with seafood and shellfish. In addition to risotto, this rice shines in minestrone and other vegetable soups.
