Riso Carnaroli, also known as Carnaroli rice, is a premium Italian short-grain rice widely regarded as one of the finest varieties for making risotto.
Grown mainly in the Po Valley in Northern Italy, Carnaroli rice is prized for its high starch content, excellent flavour absorption and firm grain structure. During cooking, it releases starch to create a naturally creamy texture while keeping a perfect al dente bite.
A classic choice for restaurant-quality risotto, seafood rice dishes, mushroom risotto and refined Italian recipes.
Serving suggestion:
Toast the rice gently before adding stock little by little. Finish with butter, Parmigiano Reggiano and extra virgin olive oil for a creamy, classic risotto.
