Riso Melotti Carnaroli Rice is a premium Italian rice grown in Isola della Scala, Verona, a region internationally recognized for its rice cultivation. Known as one of the finest varieties for risotto, Carnaroli rice is valued for its high starch content and firm grain structure, allowing it to create a naturally creamy texture while maintaining a perfect al dente bite. Carefully cultivated and processed by the Melotti family using traditional methods, this rice ensures consistent cooking performance and authentic Italian results. Its ability to absorb flavors gradually makes it ideal for achieving balanced, rich dishes without losing its structure during cooking. Key Benefits & Uses: Carnaroli rice is ideal for classic risotto recipes such as saffron, mushroom, seafood, or vegetable-based dishes. It is also suitable for rice salads and light Mediterranean preparations, offering versatility beyond traditional risotto. Thanks to its strong grain integrity, it cooks evenly in approximately 17–19 minutes, maintaining its shape without becoming sticky or mushy. This makes it a reliable choice for both home cooks and professional kitchens. Ingredients: 100% Italian Carnaroli Rice Origin: Product of Italy Net Weight: 2.2 lb (1 kg)
