What makes our Risotto special?

Flavour
A true Risotto dish gets as much flavour from the rice as from the steamed onions, a splash of wine, rich stock, a pat of butter and zing of Parmesan. Our Carnaroli variety has a hearty, slightly earthy flavour and aroma that make it a perfect match for savoury dishes.

Grain
Our Carnaroli is considered a medium grain with a length of 6mm.

Consistency
Our Risotto contains a high volume of water-soluble starch, which means it retains a firm core even after cooking but stays deliciously creamy. It’s the perfect match for your favourite Risotto recipe!

Origin

Did you know?

Our Risotto rice variety Carnaroli is a cross between the rice varieties Vialone and Lencino.

Today, Carnaroli is considered the best Italian rice variety.

The high proportion of water-soluble starch ensures a perfectly creamy texture and robust flavour.

To put it in a nutshell, this Risotto rice is "Perfetto!

Characteristics of the Carnaroli

Of course, we obtain our Carnaroli directly from Italy - more precisely from Piedmont - where it is cultivated under the best organic conditions.

Our Risotto rice is a round grain rice and is particularly starchy. During proper preparation, the rice becomes creamy and still retains its characteristically strong bite.

Other Risotto Varieties

In addition to the Carnaroli, there are also other types of Risotto, such as Arborio, Vialone or Maratelli. However, our Carnaroli clearly emerges as a Risotto winner!

The Arborio is named after a beautiful town in Piedmont and is recommended by us for the preparation of rice pudding, as it has a slightly sweet flavour.

Cooking Tips

Tip #1: Fry the rice before cooking

For a perfect Risotto, we recommend simmering the rice with onions and some butter or oil before cooking. This gives the rice a rich flavour, but has another secret benefit: the rice grains are connected by the starch, and frying prevents the rice from sticking together later. Instead it turns perfectly creamy!

Tip #2: Not too long, not too hot

Pay attention to your cooking temperature! It should never get too hot, but shouldn’t be so low that your Risotto takes twice as long to cook. The ideal temperature for cooking is about 70 degrees, so the rice is lightly simmering.

In order to retain the creamy texture, don’t simmer for too long. After 15-20 minutes the rice should be viscous. If the rice runs slowly from the spoon as spaghetti falls off the wall, then it is "al dente" and at the ideal firmness.
