Carnaroli is a medium-grain rice grown in Northern Italy most commonly used in the Italian dish risotto. It is highly prized by chefs across the globe for its bold white kernel, uniform starch release and deliciously creamy texture. Preferred by chefs for its texture, carnarolis resistance to overcooking makes it especially suited to risotto.
All types of risotto rice are varieties of japonica, a medium-grain subspecies of Oryza sativa. All are plump, starchy, highly absorbent, and mild in flavor. The differences between types of risotto come down to starchiness and texture.
