Carnaroli Rice 1kg
Italian Carnaroli rice with very long grains and a firm bite, ideal for risottos and soups.
Chef's Recommendations
“I use Carnaroli for risotto because it keeps a firm bite while releasing just enough starch for a creamy finish. The long, large grains hold their shape throughout the cook.”
