Carnaroli rice is a high quality superfine rice. The exceptional compactness of its large and long grains with a tiny central white core (known as "perla") combined with the excellent balance between liquid binding and low starch release, make it "the king of the italian rice." This variety is perfect for every risotto recipe and it is also indicated for timbales and rice salads.
