Seggiano Organic Carnaroli Risotto Rice

Organic Carnaroli Risotto Rice from five generations of Vercelli rice growers.  Grown in the fertile Po Valley, in northern Italy – the historical centre of European rice production.

Carnaroli is considered by Italians to be the supreme risotto rice, as this variety absorbs liquid evenly and right to the centre of the grain. This gives the rice a uniform, light consistency and a creamy flavour, with a smooth consistency without becoming sticky.

Organic production means that the grain is cultivated without herbicides and stored in atmospherically controlled conditions. The perfection of this organic arborio rice lies with the traditional stone husking which guarantees the lightest shelling, thus maintaining the nutrients contained in the outermost layer of each grain intact. The presence of these nutrients is critical to the taste and texture of the cooked rice.

Once husked, the rice grains are graded according to colour, quality and size. Finally, batch production and vacuum packaging guarantee that the highest quality product reaches your table.
