The Riso Gallo story begins in 1856 in Genoa with a man called Giovanni Battista, and today, some 158 years later, his direct descendants in the sixth generation are still running the business, now located in Robbio Lomellina. Riso Gallo produces rice in the Northern Po Valley, the only authentic risotto rice growing region and the single biggest rice growing area in Europe.

To get the perfect creamy and velvety consistence with the rice still retaining some bite, "al dente", you need nothing but the best rice milled in the very best way. Risotto is a traditional rice meal from the north of Italy. Suitable for vegetarians. It originates from the Lombardy farmhouses, where the organoleptic characteristics of the land and the microclimate are at their most favourable. "Carnaroli'' is the king of risotto rice by Riso Gallo, an exceptional quality rice with large, full-bodied grains that encompasses six generations of passion and culture for rice.
