Carnaroli is a very prized variety of extra-fine rice. The exceptional compactness of its large and elongated grains with a tiny central pearl, the high amylase content, the excellent balance between liquid absorption capacity and low loss of starch together with the exceptional cook ability make it the “King of Italian Rice's”. It is particularly versatile, perfect for risotto, pies, rice with sauce, salads and special dishes.

Imported. Made with Italian Arborio rice. Italy is Europe's largest producer of rice. The wetlands and cool temperatures of the Lombardi region harbor the ideal conditions for lush rice fields. Resourceful Italians combined rice with the many other items common to their area and developed a dish they lay claim to. It is known as risotto. Rich, creamy risotto is one of Northern Italy's gastronomic delights. The key ingredient in authentic risotto is the short, thick grained rice known as Arborio. This rice is the perfect grain for risotto because its texture and cooking properties allow it to retain firmness throughout preparation. Risotto should always be prepared al dente which means tender yet firm to the bite. Alessi Risotto alla Milanese is the classic risotto dish of Milan. Arborio rice is coupled with saffron, the word's most expensive spice. This robust, intensely flavored dish is the most highly regarded of all risottos and is usually served with meats cooked in a red or wine sauce.

When I became the head of the rice mill, I immediately understood it wouldn’t be easy. Four generations of my family had gradually transformed an old mill into a modern facility, able to process the finest types of Italian rice. And yet I felt there was still a lot more to do. Innovation and flexibility became my passwords, the key to progress. I immediately put them to the test in the production department, looking for the best technologies to process grains with unprecedented quality. But I didn’t stop there, because a model rice mill also has to evolve: it has to react to a changing market, satisfy its customers, and know how to transmit the quality of its products. It was the start of a new age, devoted to the enjoyment of excellence: Vignola Rice.
