Wholesale Carnaroli Classic Rice Vacuum-Packed 1 Kg

Carnaroli rice is a highly prized variety of superfine rice. The grain is large and about 7 mm long, with an elongated shape and a cerulean color with a small white central pearl. The flavor is distinct, tending towards sweet, with a firm and elastic grain even after cooking. It was developed in 1945 from the cross between Vialone (with a high amylose content that ensures cooking stability) and Lencino (a long, large, and very pearly rice). It is considered by many gourmets to be the king of rice in cuisine. Its fame comes from the exceptional compactness of the large, elongated grains with a small central part, the high amylose content close to 24% of the total starch, and the excellent balance between good liquid absorption capacity and low starch loss. It is ideal for risottos, timbales, and rice with sauce. It does not overcook, and the grain does not disintegrate. For these characteristics, it is preferred in high-end culinary preparations; however, even less experienced cooks can achieve great results. The cooking time is 16-18 minutes.
