Product Description
Riso Scotti, Riso Italiano Per Risotto
Carnaroli rice, often referred to as the "king of Italian rice," is a high-quality variety of short-grain rice. It is widely recognized as one of the best rice varieties for making risotto, a popular Italian dish known for its creamy and rich texture. Carnaroli rice is named after the town of Carnaroli, located in the Po Valley of northern Italy, where it was first cultivated.
The grains of Carnaroli rice are plump and slightly larger than other risotto rice varieties such as Arborio or Vialone Nano.
Whether you're a seasoned chef or an aspiring home cook, using Carnaroli rice can elevate your risotto to new heights of flavor and satisfaction.
They have a pearly white color and a rounded shape with a characteristic central white dot. This dot, called "the eye," indicates that the rice has been properly aged, which is important for its cooking properties.
When cooked, Carnaroli rice retains its shape and firmness better than other types of rice. It has a unique ability to absorb flavors and liquids, making it ideal for absorbing the rich flavors of the broth, wine, and other ingredients used in risotto recipes. The grains have a pleasant, slightly chewy texture, providing a delightful mouthfeel in every bite.
The grains have a pleasant, slightly chewy texture, providing a delightful mouthfeel in every bite.
This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of risotto variations, from traditional recipes like risotto alla Milanese with saffron to more creative combinations using various ingredients such as mushrooms, seafood, or vegetables.

EXPIRED???
This is my first time purchasing, and I did it based on all the reviews. The box is pretty beat up and the expiration date was covered by a sticker claiming NEW & a bar code, etc. Upon removing the sticker I cannot see the year expiration as it is not fully embossed on the box. I can only see. 03 202-So I’m not comfortable as to whether or not this is expired and it is non-returnable and expensive.
