PIEMONTE RICE - TENUTA MARGHERITA

 

Italian Rice since 1904

Some stories have no boundary or age, and they are simply deep-rooted in history.
Our story starts very far back in the year 1904, when an idea and a few simple emotions find their home in a farmhouse, immersed in the Piedmont countryside. This is where Tenuta Margherita was born.

Simple, like our constant and relentless pursuit of quality, show in our smallest gestures and in the attention we pay to every moment throughout the processing of our rice.
Unchanged like the emotions that, even after a hundred years, still characterize our work, from a freshly picked grain of rice to the pride of a mission that is devoted to excellence in all its forms. It is at distant past, therefore, that our history starts, just as we are focusing on the years to come. The attention that we pay to to our traditions cannot distract our attention towards the future and the challenges that it will bring.

"Slowness and delicacy are key elements for our company. Only in this way is it possible to achieve excellence; the principles of our work come together in these two words. Our attention to detail and our historical machines define the essence of our work: the pursuit of perfection." Chiara and Davide Brusa

RISOTTO - EASY TO COOK RICE RECIPES

Cooking Instructions : In a pan, sauté the contents of the package in olive oil for about a minute over medium heat, stirring until the rice is well coated with the oil and starts to turn translucent. Add a little bit of white wine and simmer gently until all the liquid is absorbed.
