Riso Goio 1929 is none other than the DOP Rice from Baraggia Biellese and Vercellese, in the Sant'Andrea variety. It is the only rice in Italy and in the world to have 4 characteristics present simultaneously. It is grown in Baraggia Biellese and Vercellese. The only DOP rice in the world, this ensures traceability and quality certification. It is cultivated with crop rotation: after two years of soy, rice is sown. This practice leaves the soil rich in natural nitrogen and free from weeds, thus limiting the use of herbicides and fertilizers. It is sown "dry." With the technique of sowing in inter-row planting, there is less use of water and pesticides: the plant grows healthier because the soil and the plant itself remain more oxygenated. Riso Goio chooses to keep processing defects of the rice grains close to the threshold of 0%, although the specification allows for 5%. This rice is highly appreciated by chefs for its high cooking resistance and its ability to release a lot of starch for easy creaminess.
