Long grain, firm texture, excellent cooking firmness and high starch content make it an ideal product for those in search of the perfect risotto, where the “al dente” texture meets the creaminess of the mantecatura.

Perfect cooking firmness: thanks to its grain, the rice maintains its bite throughout cooking perfectly, a good Carnaroli rice does not shake but rather keeps each grain intact and shelled.

Rich in starch: among the polysaccharides that make up starch is amylose, and Carnaroli is rich in it. During cooking, more starch is released than in other rice varieties, an essential factor for a flawless risotto.
