Carnaroli Rice

Carnaroli is a superfine rice of the Japonica variety, known as "the king of rice" for its excellent cooking properties and high capacity for absorbing seasonings, making it ideal for risotto. Its grains are large, elongated, and slightly pearly, with a high percentage of amylose that gives it a firm, creamy texture while remaining al dente.
Main Characteristics
Grain: Large, long, and tapered, with a firm texture.
Consistency: After cooking, the grains remain well separated and compact, yet release enough starch to create a creamy end result.
Absorption: It absorbs liquids, seasonings, and flavorings very well, making it perfect for stirring.
Cooking Resistance: It withstands prolonged cooking without overcooking or becoming sticky, thanks to its high amylose content.
Flavor: It has a light, nutty aroma that pairs well with strong flavors.
