Dark as ebony, fragrant like a secret: the black rice that always adds that extra touch

Tenuta San Carlo Ebony Black Rice

Organic Ebano Black Rice is Tenuta San Carlo's latest addition: an aromatic black rice from organic farming, grown in Maremma, naturally rich in antioxidants, fiber, and flavor, with a unique, pleasant texture that captivates from the first bite. Its intense aroma during cooking (35-40 minutes) and ebony color make it the star of salads, soups, and even desserts. Ebano is the result of a collaboration with IRES, the Italian Rice Experimental Station: a rice that combines cutting-edge research with the pristine soil of Maremma, and is not only sustainable, but simply delicious.
 
 
 

The roots of this Black Rice are deep in tradition

Black rice carries with it an imperial legend: in ancient China, it was called "forbidden rice" because its rare and precious harvest was reserved for the emperor and his court—the common people were forbidden even to taste it. It would take centuries for this dark, aromatic grain to conquer the tables of all. The Italian chapter in its history is very recent and looks to the future: Ebano was born from a collaboration with IRES, a research center in Northern Italy specializing in rice genetic reproduction, seed production, and variety development throughout Europe. With climate change, the work of identifying resistant rice varieties is more relevant than ever: from the rice of emperors to the rice of resilience, Ebano is the evolving tradition.
 
 
 

Choosing Ebony Black Rice means taking care of yourself

The color of black rice is its nutritional identity: that dark pigment reveals its richness in anthocyanins, the same antioxidants found in blueberries and berries, which fight free radicals and cellular aging. Added to this is a higher fiber content than white rice—valuable for satiety and regularity—vegetable proteins, and minerals like iron and zinc, all naturally gluten-free. Choosing Ebano also means supporting forward-thinking agriculture: a variety selected to withstand a changing climate, grown using certified organic methods in a region that regenerates its soil. Good for those who eat it, good for the planet.
