Cambieri Angelo e Raffaele

In Buronzo, within the historic rice paddies of Vercellese, Cambieri Angelo e Raffaele cultivates Riso di Baraggia Biellese e Vercellese DOP, the company's sole denomination. The grains grow in the unique terroir of Baraggia, a plateau with particular soil and climate, which the protected area encompasses across twenty-eight municipalities between Biellese and Vercellese. This is a rice that demands attention during cooking and rewards it with a creamy texture and a measured, never excessive, starch absorption: qualities that distinctly separate it from commodity rice and make it a sought-after ingredient in both regional and contemporary kitchens. Behind each grain lies the specificity of an austere environment, with cold waters and difficult soils, which imparts a recognizable firmness and personality to the product on the plate. Here, geography is not just a backdrop: it is the factor that determines how the rice will behave once in the pot, and it explains why Baraggia remains a benchmark among the rice paddies of the North.
