Carolina Plantation Charleston Gold Rice – 32 oz, Aromatic & Authentic Carolina Gold-Inspired Rice

Discover Charleston Gold by Carolina Plantation

Meet Charleston Gold, a premium Carolina Plantation rice that honors the historic Carolina Gold lineage while delivering a modern, aromatic experience. Grown at Plumfield Plantation along the Great Pee Dee River and named for the city where rice cultivation began in America, this 32 oz bag captures a legacy of flavor and craftsmanship.

The Charleston Gold project brings together a lineage of care and collaboration. Restoring and preserving the Gold seed through the Carolina Gold Rice Foundation, with the practical insights of researchers Dr. Merle Shepard, Dr. Gurdev Khush, and Dr. Anna Mcclong, has culminated in a grain that aims to balance taste, aroma, and quality. The story continues with Carolina Plantation’s dedication to responsible farming and authentic Southern dining experiences.

Historically significant, Charleston Gold is produced on Plumfield Plantation, which holds a special place as the first colonial plantation in the Carolinas to grow rice for commercial sales in over a century. Today, this rice offers a modern kitchen a sensory bridge to the past and a versatile ingredient for a wide range of meals.
