Apollo Aromatico Rice

Apollo rice is an Italian aromatic rice similar to Basmati, the needle-shaped rice coming only from India and Pakistan, due to climate and brand issues. Apollo rice is an excellent Italian alternative to Basmati for those who appreciate local products. With a long and tapered grain, it releases a natural aroma during cooking that recalls freshly baked bread and popcorn. Its natural aroma is also perceptible raw, with notes of white flowers that make it highly appreciated by Rice Sommeliers. Apollo rice is very versatile in the kitchen: excellent boiled and seasoned with a drizzle of oil, it lends itself to cooking pilaf and can be served as a side dish in fusion cuisine dishes, such as chicken curry.
