One of Italy's traditional rice varieties, Carnaroli Classico is considered by many chefs and foodies to be the king of rice cultivars. A cross between Vialone and Lencino, the grains are neat, uniform and ivory-white. Its flavor is corpulent, sweet and mineral, very clean. It stands out for its superb resistance when cooked and its high starch content, making it perfect for the preparation of elegant gourmet dishes.
