Promotional price €2,08List price
The Superior Quality Carnaroli Rice grown in the Lower Pavese, the heart of Lombardy's rice cultivation, is universally recognized as the "chef's rice." Carefully selected and certified by the National Rice Authority, it represents Italian excellence in the culinary world. Chosen by professionals for its impeccable performance, it is ideal for those who want to bring superior rice to the table, capable of enhancing every dish with perfect taste, aroma, and texture.
features and properties: The long, full-bodied, and shiny grains of Carnaroli have a high amylose content, which ensures exceptional cooking stability and a natural creaminess thanks to the gradual release of starch. The certification from the Rice Authority attests to its origin and quality, the result of a controlled supply chain rooted in the Pavese territory. When cooked, the grain maintains its shape and structure, releasing a delicate aroma with vegetal notes and a slight toasted nuance. The taste is elegant, balanced, and persistent, with a velvety texture that envelops the palate and enhances every ingredient.
how to use: No soaking required. For optimal results, toast the rice in a pan with fat (butter or oil), deglaze with white wine, and continue cooking by adding hot broth little by little. Cooking time: about 16–18 minutes. At the end of preparation, stir in butter and cheese off the heat to enhance creaminess and aroma.
in the kitchen: It is the ideal rice for gourmet risottos, refined and creamy: from the classic saffron risotto to more complex recipes with truffle, shellfish, or reductions. Also perfect for timbales, arancini, or baked dishes where compact texture and the ability to bind ingredients are essential. This rice performs best with high-level cooking techniques but also delivers excellent results in home cooking.
