Product Description
Riso Scotti Venere Black Italian Rice – Bulk (5 x 1 kg / 11 lb)
For over 150 years, Riso Scotti has been selecting and milling only the finest Italian rice varieties, combining tradition, passion, and innovation. Venere Black Rice is a unique whole grain rice, naturally dark in color, with a rich nutty aroma and slightly sweet taste.

How to Cook Venere Black Rice
- Rinse: Rinse the rice under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
- Measure water: Use a 1:1.75 ratio — for every 1 cup of rice, add 1¾ cups of water or broth. For large batches, scale accordingly.
- Bring to a boil: Combine rice and water in a heavy-bottomed pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Simmer: Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for approximately 40 minutes.
- Rest: Remove from heat and let the rice rest, still covered, for 5 minutes.
- Fluff and serve: Fluff with a fork and serve. Pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled vegetables, fresh salads, and gourmet plating.
Chef's tip: Cook in vegetable or seafood broth instead of water to deepen the flavor profile for restaurant-quality results.
