Always stirring pour half a glass of water (or white wine) and let it evaporate. Pour, little by little, 700 ml of hot water and let it dry completely (15 minutes). Add salt to taste.

A long experience in rice cultivation matured over five generations, making of a job a real culture asking for continuous improvement. Perinotti & Conte - Owners
Back five generations the Perinotti Family cultivates rice in the Grange Vercellesi area in Piedmont. A life dedicated to rediscovering varieties of native rice: an ambitious choice in a historic period in which standardization rules.
Gli Aironi brand's name means herons, birds that stand out also in the company logo, formerly in way of extinction and now returned in great numbers in the Grange, confirming the company's attention to environmental sustainability. Another proof is the work done to hydraulic works that have allowed to reduce to the minimum the usage of chemical products.
