Sibari Italian Black Rice

Wholegrain Black Rice Grown on the Sibari Plain

Sibari Black Rice is grown on the Sibari Plain by Magisa and Masseria Fornara, in a part of Calabria whose microclimate is ideal for rice cultivation. It has a distinctive black colour with purple reflections and is a naturally fibre-rich wholegrain rice. Inspired by the famous Venere rice, it offers an aromatic flavour and pleasing texture for Italian and international recipes.

Characteristics and Cooking Time

Sibari Black Rice takes approximately 50 minutes to cook. Cooking it separately from the other ingredients is recommended to preserve its texture and character. Its delicate fragrance and firm grains make it a distinctive choice for those who enjoy aromatic wholegrain rice.

Ideal with Fish and Seafood

Sibari Black Rice pairs wonderfully with prawns, shellfish, molluscs and other seafood, but is equally delicious with vegetables and lighter dishes. Its distinctive colour and aromatic taste are perfect for elegant, flavourful recipes.
