Gallo Nero Whole Grain Black Rice

A black rice that changes the color of your plate

White rice disappears under the sauce. This one stands out: a dark whole grain that tints the cooking water purple, keeps its bite and adds a hazelnut note to your salads and side dishes.

What you will taste

• Texture: firm to the bite, a distinct chew.
• Aromas: warm, of toasted hazelnut.
• Taste: round, with a slightly bittersweet hint in the finish.

How to use it

• Warm salad with arugula, sun-dried tomatoes in oil and shavings of Grana Padano.
• With a fillet of steamed salmon and a drizzle of olive oil.
• As a vegetarian dish, mixed with lentils and fresh herbs.

Where it comes from

Riso Gallo was founded in 1856 in Genoa by the merchant Giobatta Preve. Since 1926, its headquarters have been in Robbio, in Lomellina, in the province of Pavia. The Gallo brand, launched in 1943, owes its name to the rooster that designated top-quality rice in Argentina.
