Description
Apollo rice is an Italian variety with long, crystalline grains, developed to meet the growing demand for aromatic rice similar to Basmati but grown in Italy. The result is a delicate rice that holds up well during cooking, is slightly aromatic, with a scent reminiscent of jasmine or freshly baked bread.
Curiosity
Compared to more traditional rice like Carnaroli or Baldo, Apollo is not suitable for risottos, but it’s excellent when you want lightness, fragrance, and a dry cooking style, combining the aromatic qualities of oriental rice with the safety of controlled Italian cultivation. A perfect choice for those who love healthy, fragrant, and natural cuisine.
