Just like the name shows, this grain has an outstanding character and exceptional qualities and is extremely well-adapted to Vale do Sado’s climate. With particular characteristics, such as 6mm average size and extremely low grain damage (lower than 0,5%), it releases the ideal amount of starch, withholding its texture and firmness. With white, short and fat grains, the cooked rice presents an independent, yet creamy and velvety sauce. This type of rice is perfect for creamy rice recipes.
