Riz de Camargue | Local Rice From Bouches-du-Rhône, France | TasteAtlas

Riz de Camargue

Riz de Camargue refers to the different varieties of rice originating from the Camargue region in France - full and brown rice, white rice, non-stick rice, pre-cooked rice and mixed rice, among others. The rice is cultivated in the area since the 19th century, and while the climate is restrictive and makes cultivation difficult, it also provides grains of great quality and delicate taste.


The soil, salty subsoil and the dry, hot climate make the rice a basic crop of the Camargue area. Brown rice is the one that has the highest nutritional value in its husk - vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fibre, while round-grained white rice is the one that is most commonly used - in desserts mixed with milk, or in risottos, making it creamy due to the starch content in the rice.
