Quality & Sourcing

Tenuta Margherita Petalo Nero is grown in the fertile rice fields of northern Italy, where ideal climate conditions contribute to its exceptional quality. The rice is cultivated using sustainable agricultural practices and undergoes a gentle milling process to retain its natural color and nutrient-rich bran layer. Unlike white rice, black rice is unpolished, meaning it preserves its fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Tenuta Margherita employs traditional techniques combined with modern quality controls to ensure consistency, purity, and superior taste in every grain.

Versatility

Tenuta Margherita Petalo Nero is a highly versatile rice variety that can be used in a wide range of culinary applications. It pairs beautifully with seafood dishes, such as black rice with shrimp and citrus or squid ink-infused risottos. It also works well in grain salads, where its nutty flavor and firm texture complement fresh vegetables, herbs, and dressings. Petalo Nero is an excellent choice for stir-fries, vegetable-based dishes, and even desserts, offering a naturally striking appearance and deep, earthy flavor. Additionally, it can be served as a simple side dish, cooked with aromatic herbs and olive oil to enhance its natural taste.
