ORGANIC CARNAROLI RICE 500g
Origin: Italy
The connoisseur's choice for exceptional risotto.
Organic Italian Carnaroli rice is often hailed as the "king of risotto rice" by Italian chefs and food enthusiasts. While Arborio remains the most popular variety, Carnaroli is prized for its superior quality and performance. Its grains are slightly longer and firmer than Arborio, with a higher starch content that creates an even creamier texture while maintaining a perfectly al dente center.
The Carnaroli Difference: The key distinction lies in the cooking process. Carnaroli's firmer grain structure makes it more forgiving—it holds its shape beautifully and is less likely to overcook or become mushy, even if stirred vigorously. This resilience gives you greater control and consistently excellent results, making it the preferred choice for restaurant chefs and home cooks seeking restaurant-quality risotto.
As your risotto simmers, you'll notice that signature cream forming as the starch releases from each grain. After approximately 18 minutes of cooking and absorbing the broth, it's time for "mantecatura"—the final step that binds the perfectly cooked, separate grains together. When your risotto achieves that flowing, wave-like consistency known as "all'onda," remove it from the heat. Stir in butter and a generous handful of Parmesan, mix gently once more, and let it rest.
