Carnaroli rice is the king of Italian rice. A real treasure with long grain and delicate taste.
Carnaroli rice is undoubtedly the most esteemed Italian rice variety. It has a higher starch content and firmer texture than arborio, which results in a creamier risotto that is much more difficult to overcook. The grains are also slightly longer and keep their shape better when stirred.
In addition to risotto recipes, Carnaroli rice is also ideal for all other preparations requiring well-separated grains and well-distributed flavours: paella, rice salad …
Region of Piedmont, Italy
Fry the unwashed rice over low heat in melted butter for a few minutes until it becomes translucent.
Prepare the broth (3 to 4 times the volume of rice).
Add the broth gradually, always over low heat and mix regularly.
Cooking the risotto takes about 18 minutes.
Finish by adding grated parmesan, a knob of butter or cream for even more smoothness and cover for 2 minutes.
