Riso Scotti Carnaroli Risotto Rice 1 kg vacuum-packed — Italian premium grain, creamy al dente texture

Harvested from Carnaroli varieties cultivated by the Scotti family in Italy for over 150 years, this 2.2 lb (1 kg) bag offers a pantry-ready foundation for classic and modern risottos. Vacuum packing preserves aroma and texture so each grain delivers the high starch content and firm core cooks home chefs expect from top-tier risotto rice. Gluten-free and non-GMO, it’s also versatile for other Italian dishes that benefit from a plump, slightly chewy grain.

What makes Carnaroli rice different from other risotto varieties?

Carnaroli is prized for its high amylose and amylopectin balance, which yields a creamy sauce while maintaining a firmer, more forgiving center. Compared with Arborio, Carnaroli resists overcooking and helps you achieve that signature al dente bite with a silky mouthfeel.

• Higher starch release for creamy texture without becoming mushy
• Thicker, longer grains retain structure during extended stirring
• Ideal for professional and home cooks seeking precise results

How should I cook Riso Scotti Carnaroli for best results?

Use a gentle simmer, warm broth added in stages, and frequent stirring to coax out the rice’s starches. Follow the included instructions for timing, then rest the risotto off the heat for a minute to perfect the finish.

• Start with a lightly toasted grain in butter or oil for flavor
• Add warm stock ladle by ladle until al dente, about 18–20 minutes
• Finish with butter and cheese or desired mix-ins for creaminess

Which recipes and pairings work best with this Carnaroli rice?

Its neutral, starchy profile makes it a base for a wide range of risottos, from seafood and mushroom to saffron and vegetable-forward versions. It also adapts well to non-risotto uses like rice salads, stuffed vegetables, or simple sides that benefit from a fuller grain.

• Seafood risotto: retains firmness under delicate shellfish
• Mushroom or truffle risotto: enhances creamy, umami-rich sauces
• Saffron risotto (risotto alla milanese): holds color and texture beautifully

How is the product packaged and what should I expect for storage?
