About Gallo
Gallo is Molinos Río de la Plata's rice brand, with its Gallo Cucú mascot. In 2025, as rice volumes stabilised, Molinos gained market share with Gallo and Lucchetti, and it plans to extend Gallo beyond rice. A separate Gallo Snacks line was repositioned that year, after front-of-pack warning labels hurt the rice-based end of the snacks category.
