€0,75 EUR

Carnaroli Qualità Superiore rice grown in the Basso Pavese, the heart of Lombardy rice growing, is universally recognized as the " chefs' rice ". Carefully selected and certified by the Ente Nazionale Risi , it represents Italian excellence in the world of cooking. Chosen by professionals for its impeccable yield, it is ideal for those who want to bring a superior rice to the table, capable of enhancing every dish with perfect taste, aroma and consistency.

characteristics and properties: The long, full-bodied and shiny grains of Carnaroli have a high amylose content, which guarantees exceptional cooking resistance and a natural creaminess thanks to the gradual release of starch. The certification of the Ente Risi 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 taste is elegant, balanced and persistent, with a velvety texture that envelops the palate and enhances each ingredient.

How to use: No soaking required. For best results, toast the rice in a pan with a fat (butter or oil), deglaze with white wine and continue cooking, adding hot broth a little at a time. Cooking time: approximately 16–18 minutes . At the end of preparation, stir in butter and cheese with the heat off to enhance its creaminess and aroma.

in the kitchen: It is the ideal rice for gourmet, refined and creamy risottos : from the classic saffron risotto to the more complex recipes with truffles, shellfish or reductions. Also perfect for timbales, arancini or baked preparations where the compact consistency and the ability to bind the seasonings are essential. This rice expresses itself best with haute cuisine techniques, but also gives excellent results in home preparations.
