One of the most refined rice varieties you can find, and essential to prepare an authentic risotto, Carnaroli Superfino is a specialty rice that cooks to creamy perfection. Not all rice varieties are suitable to make risotto, and what makes Carnaroli special is its high content of starch, more so than the other classic risotto rice, arborio. It also boasts a firmer texture and longer grain, which keeps its shape as it cooks, making it really the best choice for risotto.
Carnaroli rice was created as a hybrid between two Italian varieties of rice, Vialone and Lencino, both grown in the Piedmont region of Italy. Today it is grown in Northern Italy and supervised by the Ente Nazionale Rizi – the The National Organism of Rice.
That coveted creamy texture we love in risotto is possible due to the high amylose content of the rice used for it, and Carnaroli boasts the highest of them all. Carnaroli cooks to a beautiful velvety texture without overcooking, key for achieving the perfect risotto every time. Carnaroli is the most popular rice for risotto in Italy, and prized among chefs around the world as the king of risotto rice. Creamy without losing texture, it makes for the creamiest risotto.
