RISERVA ALBERONA is the flagship of Cascina Alberona's production: its best selection of Classic Carnaroli rice, in limited quantities, aged for 24 months in temperature-controlled silos within the company, for an even more valuable rice. The choice of grains goes through a careful selection that, thanks to the subsequent 24 months of aging, ensures greater cooking resistance and less stickiness, thus enhancing the quality of your risotto with well-separated grains on the plate and the intense flavor of the rice on the palate. The aged grain is not only more resistant to cooking but is also capable of better absorbing the seasonings of your recipe. It is no wonder that it is the most loved quality by great chefs for preparing risottos. RISERVA ALBERONA rice is a Carnaroli obtained exclusively from controlled and certified seed as "CLASSIC" and as "CARNAROLI FROM CARNAROLI PAVESE." The aforementioned characteristics, along with the exceptional compactness of the elongated grains with a small central part, make it one of the best quality rice available on the market and the flagship product of Cascina Alberona, which after over 30 years of activity in the rice agriculture sector has the experience and production capabilities necessary for its cultivation and transformation of this rice. Pairings: Ideal for risottos and exquisite dishes. Its grain does not overcook and does not disintegrate, so it is preferred in haute cuisine preparations; but even less experienced cooks can achieve great results. Cooking time: 16-18 minutes.
