Description Superfine Italian Carnaroli rice Carnaroli Rice is an Italian variety mainly produced in the Lombardy region. It is one of the best varieties of rice to prepare recipes with a slow cooking, such as the famous “risotto” (risotto “alla Milanese” with saffron, red wine risotto, pumpkin risotto, Sicilian “arancini” rice balls, rice timbales, etc…). These recipes succeed as this rice does not overcook. For this reason, it proves to be a perfect product to cook first courses, but not ideal for sweet recipes. The grain has an oblong shape and a pearly colour, which attributes this rice to the “superfino” class (very thin and small). Comparing it to other varieties, the Carnaroli Rice is high in starch and has solid grains.
