Riso Scotti Aged Carnaroli Rice (18 months) is a premium risotto grain selected for its firm bite and exceptional ability to absorb flavors, delivering creamy, restaurant-quality risotto at home.

Harvested and matured for 18 months to concentrate natural starches, this Carnaroli variety from Riso Scotti is tailored for cooks who want consistent texture and flavor in classic Italian rice dishes. The 850 g pack is sized for repeated use in family meals or ambitious dinner parties; it holds shape well and releases starch steadily to create that ideal creamy finish without turning mushy.

Why choose aged Carnaroli rice over other risotto grains?

Aging deepens the grain’s internal structure, improving starch stability and yielding a more controlled, al dente result. Carnaroli already has a reputation for a firm core and high starch ratio; aging enhances those traits, making it more forgiving for longer cooking and stirring.

• 18-month aging concentrates starches for creamier texture without overcooking.
• Carnaroli’s larger grains maintain an al dente center longer than other varieties.
• Consistent absorption supports precise timing for sauces and mix-ins.

How does Riso Scotti Carnaroli perform in different risotto recipes?

This rice adapts well to light, seafood-based risottos and richer, wine- or cream-accented versions. Its structure holds up when incorporating mushrooms, shellfish, vegetables, or aged cheeses, giving a clean finish and balanced mouthfeel.

• Seafood risottos stay plump without becoming soggy.
• Mushroom and meat-based recipes benefit from steady starch release.
• Pairs well with both short simmering and longer, patient cooking styles.

What practical advantages does this 850 g pack offer for home cooks?

The mid-size format suits both occasional risotto makers and those who cook for families. The package includes simple preparation guidance so you can achieve reliable results without needing professional technique memorized.

• Enough quantity for multiple meals or a large gathering.
• Step-by-step directions printed on the box help reproducible outcomes.
• Durable packaging preserves quality between uses.

How should I cook and store Riso Scotti aged Carnaroli to get best results?

Start with a warm stock, add rice to the sautéed base, and stir gently while adding liquid gradually — this encourages even starch release. After cooking, let the risotto rest briefly off the heat to settle texture, and store unused dry rice in a cool, dry container to maintain quality.

• Use warm broth and add ladles gradually for steady creaminess.
• Finish with a brief rest off heat before serving for improved texture.
• Keep unopened or leftover dry rice sealed and away from humidity.

Who is this for? Home cooks and food lovers who want dependable, restaurant-style risotto without compromise. If you value grains that hold an al dente core, absorb flavors cleanly, and respond well to different recipes — from simple weeknight dishes to special-occasion menus — Riso Scotti Aged Carnaroli Rice 18 months is made for you. It’s also a smart pantry choice for chefs who prefer predictable performance when scaling recipes or experimenting with new ingredients.
