Vilgain Organic Basmati white rice - popular rice grown at the foot of the Himalayas

Vilgain Organic Basmati rice white is long‑grain husked rice from ecologic farming. It remains firm, loose and non‑sticky during cooking. It is great as a side dish in Indian and international cuisine. It goes well with meats, vegetables and in rice salads, but you can also use it in sweet rice dishes. Basmati is the noblest variety of rice, otherwise known as the 'queen of fragrance', and is grown in the fields at the foot of the Himalayas in Pakistan, which means the rice is irrigated directly with water from the glaciers. It has a specific sandalwood aroma and a slightly nutty taste.

The quality of the rice cultivation and subsequent packaging is paramount

The rice is processed and then packaged by a small family‑run company in Italy that prides itself on the quality and traceability of its raw materials. Both each step of processing and each batch of the final product are strictly controlled to meet all quality requirements.
