Riviana Basmati. Basmati literally translates as "the fragrant one", and with its tantalising and magical aroma is like no other rice on earth. Our Super Basmati is light and delicate with extra long, slender grains that deliver a totally unique experience in texture and taste. Our authentic Super variety of Basmati rice is steeped in centuries of legendary tradition and heritage. It can only be grown and harvested in one place on earth, at the foothills of the Himalayas. Basmati improves with age and relies entirely on nature for its very special characteristics.
