Maple Wood–Smoked Arborio Rice from the Maremma

Arborio rice grown in the Maremma and naturally smoked with maple wood.
A versatile ingredient suitable for risottos and rice-based preparations.

This rice originates in the kitchen of Podere Conti.

We use Arborio rice grown in the Maremma, selected for its cooking performance and its ability to absorb flavour, which we naturally smoke with maple wood following a technique developed in our kitchen.

The smoking process adds depth and character while maintaining a clean, balanced profile. This makes the rice suitable for a range of uses, from risottos to simpler or more creative dishes in which the rice itself plays a central role.

It is an ingredient we use in our restaurant and have chosen to share through the pantry for those who wish to work in the kitchen with a defined aromatic base, while retaining complete freedom of interpretation.
