Carnaroli PDO Rice - 1kg in recyclable paper

Carnaroli PDO rice is born in the Baraggia area, a historical region of Piedmont where rice cultivation has been documented since the 16th century and where unique pedoclimatic conditions give rise to a product of absolute excellence.

Baraggia is currently the only area in Italy to boast a Protected Designation of Origin for rice, safeguarding a rigorous supply chain that guarantees consistent origin, quality, and characteristics over time.

Carnaroli PDO stands out for its long grain and compact structure, its excellent cooking resistance, and its high amylose content. During preparation, it releases starch in a balanced way, allowing for creamy, well-bound risottos with a perfect al dente texture. It's a rice that combines agricultural tradition, territory, and productive know-how, an authentic expression of Baraggia and a symbol of Italian rice excellence worldwide.

Characteristics

Carnaroli rice is perfect, especially if you want to prepare a risotto. Let's see the main reasons:

Perfect cooking resistance: A good risotto must have excellent consistency. Thanks to its grain, which perfectly resists cooking, a good Carnaroli does not overcook or risk creating a mushy effect. Instead, it keeps each grain intact and separate, providing a pleasant sensation in the mouth.

Rich in starch: Among the polysaccharides that make up starch is amylose, and Carnaroli is rich in it. This substance helps make the grain firm, but at the same time, more starch is released during cooking compared to other rice varieties. The result is the classic creamy texture, a fundamental factor for an impeccable risotto.

In this package, you will find 1kg of Carnaroli PDO rice.

You can use this package as a "refill" for your jars.

Information

Carnaroli rice is a Long A type rice. Its large, oval-shaped grain features an opalescent central pearl, which helps absorb flavors and aromas during cooking thanks to its porous surface.

Rich in amylose and resistant to cooking, it is a perfect rice for preparing risottos and is currently one of the most used in cooking, both by renowned Michelin-starred chefs and by families around the world.
