About Vialone Nano rice

Vialone Nano is a named Italian rice variety, commonly used in dishes where grains are cooked in liquid and stirred. Its plump, relatively small grains absorb cooking liquid and release starch, giving cooked preparations a creamy consistency while allowing the grains to retain some shape.

It is generally sold as dry, milled rice. Cooking behaviour and texture depend on milling, storage and preparation, so this variety should not be treated as interchangeable with every short- or medium-grain rice. The name refers to the rice variety, not a prepared dish or a mixed rice product.
