The famous rice used in Italy to make risotto!
It is grown in Italy, on the plain stretching out around Vercelli, according to traditional methods without fertilizers or preservatives. All the different stages of the rice production are done by hand. This produces completely natural, unique-tasting rice that is not as white or shiny and may have irregular grains.
The Carnaroli variety: the "prince" of Italian rice stands up to the cooking process very well. Its largish grains do not stick together so its presentation is excellent. It takes 13-15 minutes to cook and a few minutes longer to make a risotto.
Producer: Lodigiana
Origin: Ronsecco (Italy)
