Cascina Belvedere Carnaroli Italian Rice, 1 kg

Carnaroli rice, like arborio rice, is grown in the Piedmont and Lombardy regions of northwest Italy. A short-grain, plump Italian white rice, Carnaroli is considered one of the best rice to use in risotto. Carnaroli has a larger grain than the other Italian white rice varieties but still cooks to a creamy texture with a firm body. Widely considered the finest of the risottos rice varieties, carnaroli has been nicknamed "the caviar of rice". It is slightly more sensitive with regard to the cooking time and can absorb large amounts of liquid, but carnaroli's creamy texture and improved flavour keep it a favourite for chefs everywhere risotto is popular. Carnaroli rice is usually more expensive than other Italian rice. It is more difficult to grow and harvest, the plants break easily. Carnaroli is more forgiving when cooked, it absorbs more liquid and seems to reach the creamy al dente texture easily. Our Carnaroli rice comes in Vacuum Pack.
