Reis weiss, Langkorn 500 g

Our long grain rice in the best demeter quality is cleaned and hulled after harvesting. The so-called silver skin, which surrounds the rice grain, is then gently polished off. The long grain rice is particularly suitable as a side dish for a wide variety of vegetable, fish or meat dishes, as well as for preparing paella. demeter rice is grown in northern Italy, in Lombardy. The partnership between Hans Spielberger, our senior boss at Spielberger Mühle, and Senior Marsinari began back in the 1980s and is now being continued by the next generation. The special thing about it is not only the long-standing partnership of equals, but also the cultivation method. This is unique in Italy and is similar to the method used in Asia. The rice plants are pre-grown in a greenhouse and, after a few days, planted in rows directly in the beds and then flooded with spring water from the mountains. The advantage: the weeds cannot compete with the rice plants so easily. At the same time, after a few years of practical application, it has become clear that the ecology also benefits: As open water areas are left between the rows, bird species that were not seen for many years are now once again present in the region.    Both the cultivation and the packaging stand for sustainability. It is based 100% on the renewable raw material wood. They can be completely collected in waste paper and 100% recycled. Through a long-term partnership with the Bergwaldprojekt e.V., Spielberger Mühle finances the planting of trees every year as well as the maintenance and preservation of the existing forest. The latter enables the forest to rejuvenate itself naturally - i.e. new trees grow and the forest thrives. This closes the paper cycle by offsetting paper consumption for packaging and giving something back to nature.
