CARNAROLI RICE

Description:

Carnaroli is a short-grained white rice featuring small, plump grains that are slightly larger than Arborio Rice.  Carnaroli Rice is considered to be one of the finest white rice used to make Risotto because of its high starch content.  When cooked it has a creamy texture with the inner germ kernel remaining firm.  Carnaroli Rice retains its shape while cooking and can absorb much more liquid than other rice, which makes it perfect for Italian dishes.  Carnaroli is often referred to as the "Caviar" of rice.
