Product Description
Carnaroli rice grows nearly twice as tall as either Arborio or Vialone Nano, making it extremely difficult to harvest (it must be harvested as soon as it matures, before the large grain falls over from its own weight!). Why does owner Gabriele Ferron go to all the trouble to produce carnaroli? First, because this rice plumps to three times its size when cooked, absorbing a staggering amount of liquid along the way. The resulting texture is creamy, yet still al dente. Second, carnaroli is as white as snow, resulting in a dazzlingly beautiful plate of risotto. Call him vain, but that's why A.G. Ferrari Foods chef Gianluca Guglielmi uses carnaroli almost exclusively. The large, long grain also makes it an exceptional choice for rice salad.The Pila Vecia label represents the top 10% of Gabriele Ferron's rice harvest (the best of the best!).

This rice is far better than arborio rice - I loved it in the rissotto - creamy and flavorful! Enjoy!
