Carnaroli Classic Rice 1 Kg
Carnaroli rice is a very fine variety of superfine rice. The grain is big and about 7 mm long, elongated and cerulean color with small white pearl center.
The taste is clean, almost sweet, with large grain and elastic even after cooking.
Was obtained in 1945 from a cross between Vialone (with high amylose that seals in cooking) and Lencino (long rice, and very large pearl) It is considered by many gourmet rice prince of the kitchen.
His fame comes from the exceptional compactness of the grains large and long with a small central part, the high content of amylose close to 24% of the total starch, the excellent balance between good capacity for liquid absorption and low loss of starch. It is ideal for risotto, pies, rice with sauce. Do not overcook the grain and is not broken down. Because of these properties is preferred in the preparation of haute cuisine; but also less experienced cooks can get great results.
The cooking time is 16-18 minutes.
Riserva Alberona Kg 1 Carnaroli Classico
RISERVA ALBERONA is the spearhead of Cascina Alberona's production: its best selection of Carnaroli Classico rice, limited quantity, seasoned 24 months in temperature controlled silos inside the farm, for an even more valuable rice.
The choice of the grains goes through a careful selection that, thanks to the subsequent 24 months of seasoning, guarantee a greater hold in cooking and less stickiness, so as to increase the quality of your risotto with the grains well shelled on the plate and the intense flavour of the rice on the palate.
The seasoned grain is not only more resistant to cooking, but is also better able to absorb the condiments of your recipe. Not for nothing is it the most loved quality by great chefs for the preparation of risottos.
RISERVA ALBERONA rice is a Carnaroli obtained exclusively from controlled seed and certified as "CLASSICO" and "CARNAROLI DA CARNAROLI PAVESE".
The above mentioned characteristics, together with the exceptional compactness of the elongated grains with a small central part, make it one of the best quality rice on the market and the flagship product of Cascina Alberona which, after more than 30 years of activity in the rice farming sector, has the experience and production capacity necessary for its cultivation and processing of this rice.
The cooking time is 16-18 minutes.
Arborio Rice 1 Kg
Arborio rice has a long, semi-round, slightly squared, pearly shape. It is a historical variety of Italian rice growing that takes its name from the town of Vercelli where the variety was selected in 1946.
This quality of rice, with a low amylose content and an extended central pearl, is counted among the best risotto rice, while it is absolutely not recommended for the preparation of desserts: its grain is too large and therefore does not constitute a good base for rice cakes.
The cooking time is 14-16 minutes.
