Interestingly Nero rice has its roots in China, where black rice, known as “the forbidden rice,” was reserved exclusively for the Emperor and his court. In the 1990s, an Asian black rice variety was crossbred with Italian Padano rice, resulting in the creation of Venere Nero—a unique blend of flavors and cultural heritage.
Good to know: Avoid washing the rice before cooking to retain the valuable starch essential for creamy risottos.
