L'Oro di Gragnano Risone Pasta

RISONE, often known as “orzo,” is a small rice-shaped pasta made from high-quality Gragnano durum wheat semolina. Its petite size makes it one of the most versatile pastas for soups, salads, and baked dishes.

About the Shape:
Shaped like elongated grains of rice, RISONE offers a delicate yet firm texture that holds up well during cooking. The small form allows it to blend seamlessly into broths, vegetable mixtures, and creamy preparations. Despite its size, it maintains the characteristic bite of bronze-extruded Gragnano pasta, giving dishes a richer, more satisfying result compared to softer commercial versions.

Best Types of Dishes:
Perfect for soups, broths, risottos made with pasta (“orzotto”), cold pasta salads, baked Greek-style casseroles, seafood dishes, and creamy Parmesan-based preparations.
