At Sublime Beach Club we use two varieties, Ronaldo is a variety of rice that is a long carolino and we love using this variety for one of our most premium dishes, lobster rice, as this variety lives up to the elegance of the dish. It releases a lot of starch and is very consistent in its composition, so we get a very creamy rice without adding butter.

And secondly, bomba rice, a variety that I particularly like because, as we know, it doubles in size when cooked, has a great ability to absorb the flavors when we cook it and this helps us cooks to create dishes with a lot of flavor while always respecting the rice.

Working with local products and local producers who are passionate about what they do. High quality Bomba and Ronaldo rice!

The variety we use at Prado is Ronaldo (carolino) Bio (whenever possible). We think it's the right variety for making creamy rice because it has a very high absorption capacity, which means more flavour and in the end results in a very tasty rice that keeps its flavour for a long time.

"At the Herdade do Esporão restaurant, we try to work with suppliers as closely as possible. We use bomba rice and carolino rice from Aparroz, both for different dishes, because of their quality. I visited them last year and I think the quality of the rice is really fantastic."

David Jesus

At Seiva, plants rule, so we have to use the best that exists in the plant world in our proposal and the relationship we have with Ricecrafters means that every product we use to make memorable dishes is unbelievable.

It's a pleasure and an honor to work with someone who defends the value of the product as we do.

I already knew Aparroz and Rice Crafters thanks to chef João Rodrigues' "Matéria" project. As soon as we opened Tua Madre in Évora, it was immediately a reference point for me. I've been cooking with Carnaroli for years, and it's always been an important ingredient for my family. Finding quality Carnaroli near me was a perfect find, given the type of cuisine I research in my work. Rice Crafters' Carnaroli has all the requirements to be a rice on a par with the great stocks I used to find in Italy.

Gil Fernandes

We began our partnership with ricecrafters because we were looking for a rice of Portuguese origin that would meet our standards, in terms of quality, consistency of the grain in presentation and cooking point. Above all, it had a symbiosis with our philosophy and our quality standards.
Since then, we have confirmed that same consistency in Ronaldo rice. We are really proud to have this product of excellence produced in our country and to be able to use it to make our rice to the satisfaction of our customers. It's a guarantee of quality.

In the sala we work with ronaldo rice, which absorbs the flavors of our octopus rice and the starch it releases makes for creamy rice without the need for binding.

Jorge Fernandes

With Ronaldo Rice, I can serve dishes with rice that is always just right and cooked evenly, obtaining perfect rice, with the grain presenting the desired color and texture. The quality is extraordinary! What's more, the Carnaroli Variety allows me to prepare a perfect risotto, with an unparalleled creaminess and texture.

Vasco Coelho

Working with Ricecrafters has been a guarantee of quality for me as a chef and for my Euskalduna Group projects from day one.

Our dishes have added value due to the excellent quality of the products that are a certainty on our menus. Using Portuguese rice is also clearly an asset for us.
