Sibari Rice - Arborio

The cultivation of rice in the Piana di Sibari in Calabria covers an area of more than 600 hectares and is constantly increasing because the planting of rice paddies in this area blends perfectly with the local soil balance. The organoleptic and qualitative qualities stand out among all those cultivated in other areas of Italy because they enjoy the natural and climatic advantages given by the Calabrian territory itself. The Arborio is the most famous and widespread variety for risotto. Among the Italian rice is the one that has the largest grains.
