Experience a culinary highlight with the Gallo Venere Black Wholegrain Rice that delights all the senses. This noble natural rice, often called “Venus rice”, comes from the fertile regions of northern Italy and impresses with its deep black colour, intense nutty aroma and pleasantly firm texture. Whether as an elegant side to seafood, in modern bowls or as the base for creative gourmet dishes – this rice brings variety and top Italian quality to your plate.

Heritage of the Po Valley: Authenticity in Every Grain

Gallo Venere is no ordinary rice. It is an exclusive cross between an Asian black variety and a traditional Italian rice variety, perfectly adapted to the Po Valley climate. Cultivation follows strict quality controls to preserve the purity and unmistakable character of this 100% wholegrain product. Because the dark pigmentation sits in the husk, valuable nutrients and fibre are retained during cooking.

Preparation is simple but requires some patience: with a cooking time of about 35 minutes the grains develop their full bouquet, reminiscent of freshly baked bread and sandalwood. Thanks to its firm structure the rice stays loose and separate. Riso Gallo, one of Italy’s oldest and most renowned rice producers, guarantees an authentic piece of culinary culture – without artificial additives and made with a passion for craftsmanship.

Quality & Sustainability: Information on the Best Before Date

Why you should not discard food when the best-before date is reached:
The best-before date (MHD) only indicates until when the product retains its optimal quality (taste, colour, texture). It is explicitly not an expiration date. Dry products like wholegrain rice are extremely stable when stored cool and dark and are often perfectly edible far beyond the MHD. Simply check the product with your senses: if the grain is dry, smells pleasantly nutty and shows no visible defects, it is safe to enjoy. Together we can reduce food waste and act sustainably.
