Features

• RISO CARNAROLI. Carnaroli is a medium-grained rice native to the Po Valley in Italy and is considered by many to be one of the best rice for making risotto. It has a higher starch content and firmer texture, so it keeps its shape better and is more resistant to overcooking then other more common varieties.
• FEATURES & PECULIARITIES. Melotti Carnaroli Risotto Rice has a relatively oval shape, about an 8-millimeter long grain that keeps its shape when cooking. The starch is distributed evenly throughout the grain of rice. After 16 to 18 minutes of cooking time, the carnaroli produces a creamy risotto that remains al dente for a long time. The rice grains do not stick together when cooking, so the result always remains robust.
• COOKING & PAIRINGS SUGGESTIONS. The medium-sized grains of this Carnaroli rice for risotto ensure an excellent cooking stability and absorb the aromas of all spices, making it ideal to conjure up the creamiest risotto. Carnaroli rice grains do not stick together and they are ideal for both meat-based and seafood-based risottos as well as rice salads, arroz and paella.
