The Goio Rice 1929 is none other than the DOP Rice of Baraggia Biellese and Vercellese in the Sant'Andrea variety. It is the only rice in Italy and in the world to have 4 characteristics present at the same time. It is grown in the Baraggia Biellese and Vercellese. The only DOP rice in the world, this constitutes traceability and quality certification. It is cultivated with crop rotation: after two years of soy, rice is sown. This practice leaves the soil rich in natural nitrogen and free from weeds, thus limiting the use of herbicides and fertilizers. It is sown "dry." With the technique of sowing in submerged rows, there is less use of water and pesticides: the plant grows healthier because the soil and itself remain more oxygenated. Goio Rice chooses to keep the processing defects of rice grains near the 0% threshold, although the regulations allow for 5%. This rice is highly appreciated by chefs for its high cooking resistance and the ability to release a lot of starch for easy creaming.
