Riso Scotti Venere black rice

Riso Scotti Venere is a premium Italian whole-grain black rice, known for its distinctive natural aromatic fragrance and deep color. The brand Scotti, founded in 1860 in the Pavia region of Italy, is a historic leader in the rice sector. Venere rice itself is a hybrid variety developed in Italy (specifically in the Vercelli area) in 1997 by crossing an Asian black rice variety with an Italian Po Valley variety.

The product is produced and packaged in Italy by Riso Scotti S.p.A. The company remains an independent family-run Italian enterprise, though it has entered into strategic partnerships over the years. As of current outlooks, the Scotti family maintains majority control and management, ensuring the brand's heritage as a cornerstone of Italian agricultural production remains intact.
