Gloria

A Premium Carolina-Type Rice from the Axios Delta, Greece

Gloria is a premium Carolina-type short-grain rice cultivated in the fertile Axios River Delta in Northern Greece—a region with long-standing expertise in rice cultivation and ideal natural growing conditions.

Selected for creaminess, consistency, and versatility, Gloria is a trusted staple for both traditional Mediterranean cuisine and professional foodservice applications

Origin & Terroir

The Axios River Delta provides:

  • Natural freshwater irrigation

  • Clay-rich, mineral soils

  • A mild Mediterranean climate

These conditions allow the rice to mature slowly and evenly, developing:

  • High starch content

  • Soft yet structured grains

  • Excellent liquid absorption

Gloria is single-origin and never blended, ensuring reliable quality and consistency across harvests.

  • Key characteristics:

    • Short, rounded grains

    • High starch release

    • Naturally creamy texture
