Gli Aironi’s whole grain black Italian rice, known as Venere Nero, is a distinctive variety prized for its rich flavor, firm texture, and deep ebony hue. Using a handcrafted stone mill husking method, the grains are lightly shelled to preserve the nutrient-rich outer layers, which contribute to their complex taste and satisfying bite. Processed in small, carefully monitored batches, this rice is rigorously selected for color, purity, and grain size, ensuring exceptional quality in every bag.
Grown in Piedmont’s fertile “Grange” area by the Perinotti family—rice cultivators for five generations—Gli Aironi Venere Nero reflects a commitment to quality and sustainability. Cultivated without chemicals and with minimal environmental impact, this variety embodies the brand’s dedication to reviving traditional, heritage grains while meeting modern culinary standards. Perfect for elegant risottos, salads, or side dishes, it brings an aromatic, nutty character and striking presentation to your table.
