Carolina Gold Rice, offered by Anson Mills, is an exceptional heirloom rice variety that holds a special place in the history of American cuisine. First cultivated in the Lowcountry of South Carolina in the 18th century, this variety was nearly lost over time, but Anson Mills successfully revived it.
Known as the "grandmother of long-grain rice" in the Americas, it is prized for its subtle flavor and unique starch properties. Depending on the cooking method, it can produce fluffy, separate grains, a creamy risotto-like texture, or a sticky consistency similar to that of Asian rice. Anson Mills uses state-of-the-art cold milling techniques to preserve the natural freshness of the grain, and every order is hand-packed and vacuum-sealed immediately after milling.
The culinary versatility of this rice makes it ideal for preparing classic Southern dishes as well as international recipes. Thanks to its authentic taste and texture, Carolina Gold has become a favorite among professional chefs and lovers of traditional cuisine around the world.
