The Diputación, ASAJA Alicante and IVIA have promoted this project thanks to which, its cultivation has been recovered. And is that this variety was replaced by the most commercial brands in the past.

Kiko Moya, from Escaleta de Cocentaina and Evarist Miralles, born in Pego, made a tasting of 4 rices that were paired with Alicante DOP wines. Among them were sweet, dry rices, with fish, with "fesols and naps" and elaborations in dessert.

The President of the CRDOP Alicante, Antonio M. Navarro, showed his satisfaction to find a new product with which "we have so many things in common and that full of values ​​to the gastronomy of Alicante". In particular, the rich heritage of rice that is now enriched with varieties of Alicante of high culinary and organoleptic value. This also allows us to play with the wide range of Alicante wines, where it is possible to harmonize fish with white wines, or fermented in cask and rosé with seafood, red with meat or vegetables and even desserts with rice with sweets or Fondillón. At the end of the day the goal is to be "united by our wine" and that the products that are asked for are increasingly from Alicante.
