Orivárzea - Orizicultores do Ribatejo, SA
We produce genuine and tasty rice from Portugal. Pure, as nature created it.
The history of Orivárzea begins in 1997, when a group of 10 of Lezíria Ribatejana's most important rice farmers decide to join hands and join forces to produce and market a rice of excellence with unique qualities, and make it reach the final consumer at a fair price. The quality of Carolino rice produced by Orivárzea in Lezíria Ribatejana is so distinctive that in addition to the domestic market the product is now exported to the most demanding markets in Europe and even to China itself, and reference companies in the children food market rely on the quality of Orivárzea rice as the raw material selected for the rigorous preparation of their products.
Under the name of Lezíria Ribatejana (Ribatejo Wetland), the Tagus, Sorraia and Almansor floodplains extend through the counties of Benavente, Salvaterra de Magos, Vila Franca de Xira, Azambuja and Coruche. Alluvial lands, fertile since the dawn of the world, they are therefore naturally enriched soils along the millennia, periodically flooded by rivers that overflow from its bed. Wide and green plains, with wide horizons and endless fields, they are crossed by wild bulls and Lusitanian and Sorraia horses. With land and ever-present water, this is a land of farmers and fishermen, of "Campino" cow herders and boatmen, of unique and original people who have learned to derive their livelihood and wealth from land and water.
A rice of the Japonica subspecies, with its own characteristics due to its ancestry and connection with the Ribatejo environment, providing a grain that after cooking will transmit all the rich-ness that characterizes it. More creamy and velvety and with an uniform texture and hardness in its cooking compared to other varieties, the Carolino is the type of rice that faithfully translates the Portuguese standard and therefore best fits the country's gastronomic tradition. Its characteristics allow it to absorb the aromas and flavors of the spices and ingredients with which it is cooked. This is why it is the ideal rice for the preparation of traditional Portuguese cuisine dishes, such as all dishes of wet and thick rice and desserts such as sweet rice. Available in packs of 1000g and 500g.
A rice of the Indica subspecies, originating in South and Southeast Asian countries, the Agulha is a long, thin, glassy and consistent rice. The result is a rice that bakes more quickly without ab-sorbing the spices but resulting loose and dry. Its characteristics make it the ideal "white" rice to be served with meat or fish dishes. Available in packs of 1000g and 500g.
Also of Indica subspecies, Aromatico rice owes its name to the perfume it exudes while cooking. It is related to Indian and Thai cuisine and although intense, its aroma does not translate into flavor in the dish as its grain has a neutral flavor. It cooks quickly resulting in a thin and loose grain, but of soft consistency. It is ideal as an accompaniment to very spicy exotic dishes such as African cuisine and Oriental grills. Available in packs of 500g and 1000g
Rich in fiber, Bom Sucesso Integral is a Carolino rice that was not stripped during the bleaching process. The result is a slower-cooking but highly nutritious grain thanks to the nutrients found in the bran: fiber, vitamins, minerals and essential oils. Integral rice is rich in vitamin E, group B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus and magnesium. The dietary fiber contained in Bom Sucesso Integral rice is part of a healthy diet. Available in pack of 500g.
Bom Sucesso for Sushi is a Carolino rice of the Sfera variety, a round and firm-core rice variety. Consistent, round and bulky grains have a high absorption capacity without losing shape, and are therefore a variety used worldwide in the preparation of Japanese cuisine. Bom Sucesso Sushi is the rice used by Chef Miguel Bértolo, winner at the World Sushi Cup in Japan. Available in pack of 1000g.
Bom Sucesso Risotto is a Carolino rice of the Ulisse variety. Consistent, round and bulky grains have a high absorption capacity without losing their shape and are therefore one of the main varieties used in the preparation of Risottos. The banks of the Tagus River proved to have great qualities for the development of a perfect Ulisse which is appreciated both by great Chefs and consumers. Available in pack of 1000g.
