Judge’s comment: “A very good rice with a lovely al-dente texture to be found at the centre of the stickiness. The aftertaste is clean with a subtle nuttiness to finish.”

People in Italy call Carnaroli rice the “king of rice” (or “caviar of rice”).

This is the biggest of the Italian superfino rice varieties.

Farmers in Italy’s Piedmont region have been cultivating Fontana Formiello Carnaroli Risotto Rice since the 15th century.

The combination of exceptional climate, soil, landscape and local expertise ensure its quality and uniqueness.

Packed under-vacuum in plastic bag and paperboard pack.

Good to know: Do not wash rice before cooking it as this removes the valuable starch which makes the risotto creamy.
