Carnaroli Rice Low Pavese Superior Quality - Del Colle
€0,83 EUR
Superior Quality Carnaroli Rice, grown in the Lower Pavese area, the heart of Lombardy's rice-growing region, is universally recognized as the " chef's rice ." Carefully selected and certified by the National Rice Board , it represents Italian excellence in the culinary world. Chosen by professionals for its impeccable yield, it is ideal for those seeking a superior rice capable of enhancing every dish with perfect flavor, aroma, and texture.
Characteristics and properties: The long, full-bodied, and glossy grains of Carnaroli rice have a high amylose content, which guarantees exceptional cooking stability and a natural creaminess thanks to the gradual release of starch. The certification from the Ente Risi (Rice Agency) attests to its origin and quality, the result of a controlled supply chain rooted in the Pavia area. When cooked, the grain maintains its shape and structure, releasing a delicate aroma with vegetal notes and a light toasted nuance. The flavor is elegant, balanced, and persistent, with a velvety texture that envelops the palate and enhances every ingredient.
Directions: No soaking required. For best results, toast the rice in a pan with a little fat (butter or oil), deglaze with white wine, and continue cooking, gradually adding hot broth. Cooking time: approximately 16–18 minutes . Once cooked, turn off the heat and stir in the butter and cheese to enhance its creaminess and aroma.
In the kitchen: It's the ideal rice for gourmet, refined, and creamy risottos : from classic saffron risotto to more complex recipes with truffles, shellfish, or reductions. It's also perfect for timbales, arancini, or baked dishes where its firm consistency and ability to bind seasonings are essential. This rice is best expressed with haute cuisine techniques, but also delivers excellent results in home-cooked dishes.
