Carnaroli rice, often described as "the king of Italian rices," is characterized by long, rounded grains. The starch it contains is richest in amylose, a substance that helps make the grain firm at the core and gives it excellent cooking properties. Its grains therefore retain excellent absorption capacity, and their loss of nutritional value during cooking remains minimal. It is also the starch that gives it its creamy texture, so delicious in risotto.

Use

This balance of creaminess, firmness, and flavor absorption makes it ideal for risottos or any other dish requiring well-separated grains and well-distributed flavors, such as arancini and rice salad. Carnaroli rice is ideal for refined dishes, and it's easy to let down even less experienced risotto cooks.

Distinctive elements

Harvested in late summer and early autumn, the grains are stored, with the hull and bran intact, until the last minute before grinding and packaging so that they retain all their nutritional values ​​and aromas.

The entire production process is environmentally friendly and does not use any preservatives or modified atmospheres to preserve the freshness of the products.
