Rice
Plunged into mist and fog during the winter, the landscape around Vercelli reveals itself in the summer as a large expanse of water covered with zigzagging dirt paths upon which it is not unusual to see rice pickers passing by on bicycles early in the morning. For centuries, life in these regions was shaped around the various stages involved in rice farming. More than 100 varieties of the crop are produced in the province of Vercelli. From Baldo to Arborio, not to mention Nuovo Maratelli and Sant'Andrea, each and every one of them is used to prepare a variety of dishes, including soups, risotto, doughnuts, rice cakes, etc.
