Baldo Rice
Baldo rice was originally developed in Italy. It is similar to Arborio rice, used in many recipes and most especially to prepare Italy's most famous rice dish, Risotto. Quality Baldo rice is now grown in Turkey as well, and widely popular there and in other European and Me diterranean countries. The small, polished kernels have a compact structure and cook into a transparent and creamy consistency. Chefs around the world choose this rice for its versatility in recipes. It is used in soups, salads, desserts and many non-Italian dishes. It is a sticky rice and with its compact structure is perfect for making rice molds. With its shorter grains, many Chefs prefer Baldo rice as it has a quicker cooking time than other varieties.
