Carnaroli rice is a premium, medium-grain Italian rice, often called the "king of rice", particularly prized for its use in risotto. It's known for its high starch content, which creates a creamy texture, and its ability to maintain a firm, al dente bite even after cooking. This makes it a favorite among chefs for producing a rich, flavorful risotto that doesn't become mushy. Riserva San Massimo is one of the few Italian farms that cultivate Carnaroli Classico. Since 2005, their Director Dino Massignani has overseen a careful selection process, preserving the original variety of the seed. They commit to a cultivation method based on non-intensive production techniques, with zero environmental impact and complete respect for nature.For this reason, the authentic Carnaroli Classico from Riserva San Massimo is the result of a delicate balance between nature, human labor, and innovation.
