Good to know: Venere Nero originates from China, where people served black rice or “the forbidden rice” exclusively to the Emperor and his court.

In the 1990s, breeders crossed an Asian black rice variety with the Italian Padano rice, a round, medium-grained type of rice, and named it Venere Nero.
