Colavita Carnaroli Rice 1kg – Premium Italian Rice for Creamy Risotto & Fine Cooking

Carnaroli rice is known as the "king of risotto", and Colavita's version is grown and milled in Italy to preserve the grain’s structure, starch content, and cooking performance. Compared to Arborio, Carnaroli offers superior resistance to overcooking, making it the preferred choice for professional risotto preparation.

Key Features:

• Longer, firmer grain than Arborio
  
• Absorbs flavor and broth without becoming mushy
  
• Releases starch slowly for a rich, creamy risotto
  
• Ideal for fine dining, catering, and Italian menus
  
• Perfect for risotto, arancini, rice salads, or rice desserts
  

Professional Usage Tips:

• Use for seafood risotto, wild mushroom risotto, saffron (alla Milanese), or truffle-infused dishes
  
• Sauté rice in olive oil before deglazing with wine and broth
  
• Stir constantly and add broth gradually for optimal starch release
  
• Portion: ~80–100g dry rice per plated main
  

Chef Tip: Finish risotto with cold butter and grated Parmigiano-Reggiano off heat for maximum creaminess and shine.

Creamy texture. Resilient grain. Chef-preferred.
