About this Product

Carnaroli rice contains more starch than other rice varieties. However, it retains liquid and holds its shape better than arborio rice and has a larger grain, making for a more textured dish. Risotto made with carnaroli rice can be a side dish or a main dish, depending on the ingredients. In Italy, it is basically used as a vehicle for seasonal vegetables. The extra starch in the rice is responsible for the creamy texture of risotto, so it is important not to wash the rice grains before cooking them. The high amylase starch content in carnaroli rice allows it to keep its shape while absorbing flavors well and resisting over-cooking. Carnaroli makes a risotto that is fluffy, but not sticky.
