The Best Risotto Rice — Carnaroli Is 'King'

New for 2025 - We are delighted to introduce our own-brand Carnaroli risotto rice, perfect for making the creamiest and most comforting risottos.

Our producer is located in the heart of the Po Valley in Piemonte, where they cultivate Carnaroli alongside other prized rice varieties. 

Often hailed as the "King of Italian Rice" for its exceptional quality, Carnaroli is the perfect ingredient for creamy, premium risottos, rice salads, and stuffed vegetables.

The Risotto Connoisseur's Choice

Carnaroli rice is the preferred choice for risotto enthusiasts. It’s processed using an artisan stone husking technique that lightly removes the outer shell, preserving the grain’s natural nutrients. This unique method ensures the rice maintains its rich flavour and perfect texture.

This rice is the result of generations of our producer's expertise. They have dedicated themselves to improving farming practices while respecting nature and relying on the wisdom of traditional cultivation techniques.

Piemonte

Piemonte (or Piedmont) is the second largest region of Italy, found in the north west of the country. Its largest city and the original capital of Italy is Turin, the bustling business and culture hub of northern Italy. Turin is filled with a mixture of 16th and 18th century renaissance, baroque and neo classical architecture. More up-to-date, it is also home to Juventus FC, one of Italy’s best football teams.

Moving away from the cities, Piedmont is known for its connection to the Alps. Almost half of the region is covered by mountains, making it one of Italy’s top skiing destinations. The geography of the region generates great agricultural farm land and it is best known for its grapes and wine production. Barolo and Barbaresco red wines are made from the Nebbiolo grape, and the sparkling Asti Spumante comes from the Moscato grape.

Besides wine, the region also produces a vast amount of Italian risotto rice. Arborio, Carnaroli and 11 other varieties of rice are grown in paddy fields, irrigated by river water.
