Classic Carnaroli rice in glass jar - 480g
Carnaroli rice is considered the king of rice, thanks to its versatility and its wide use in cooking. Born in 1940, his name originates from Emiliano Carnaroli, at the time government commissioner of the National Risi Authority.
Long grain, firm consistency, excellent cooking resistance and high starch content make it an ideal product for those looking for the perfect risotto, where the al dente consistency meets the creaminess of the creaming.
Also complete from a nutritional point of view, Carnaroli is perfect for giving life to many traditional recipes or for those who love to bring an innovative impetus to the kitchen.
Characteristics
As mentioned, Carnaroli rice is perfect especially if you want to prepare a risotto. Let's see what the main reasons are:
Perfect resistance to cooking : a good risotto must have an excellent consistency. Thanks to its grain, which resists cooking perfectly, a good Carnaroli does not overcook, nor does it risk giving rise to the pimping effect, but rather keeps each grain intact and shelled. For a pleasant sensation in the mouth.
Rich in starch : among the polysaccharides that make up starch there is amylose, and Carnaroli is rich in it. This substance helps to make the grain firm, but at the same time more starch is released during cooking than other varieties of rice. The result is the classic cream, a fundamental factor for an impeccable risotto.
