A rice that knows how to wait, in a bag made to be noticed.
Nuovo Maratelli absorbs stock, saffron, sofrito and spices while keeping a pleasant texture during resting. Use it for paella, risotto, arroz al horno, seafood rice or one-pan dishes that may need a few minutes before reaching the table.
The cloth bag gives this versatile rice a presentation made for speciality shelves, gifts and kitchens where the ingredients deserve to be seen.
Some rice demands perfect timing. Nuovo Maratelli is more forgiving. Its pearled grains absorb the flavour of stock, saffron, sofrito and spices while remaining pleasantly structured as the dish rests.
That makes it an excellent choice for paella, where the rice often has to wait while the table is gathered and the final dishes are carried out. It also works beautifully in risotto, arroz al horno, seafood rice, mushroom dishes and one-pan recipes with chicken, vegetables or pork.
Try it with squid, prawns and a spoonful of salmoretta, or take it in another direction with roasted pumpkin, mushrooms and aged cheese. Its ability to absorb flavour without quickly losing its texture takes it far beyond the usual Sunday paella.
The rice is grown in the cooler, high-lying fields of Aragón and irrigated with cold meltwater from the Pyrenees. The lower temperatures allow the grain to mature more slowly than rice grown in Spain’s warmer regions.
