Riso Scotti Carnaroli Risotto Rice – 2.2 lb / 1 kg, Gluten Free, Non-GMO, Vacuum Packed

Premium Carnaroli for Creamy Risotto at Home

Experience authentic Italian risotto with Riso Scotti Carnaroli rice. This premium Carnaroli grain is proudly grown in Italy and selected by the Scotti family for more than 150 years. Known for its generous starch content and sturdy kernel, Carnaroli helps risotto achieve that signature creamy texture while keeping each grain distinct. When you toast the rice in a little fat and gradually ladle in hot stock, the grains release a silky starch that coats the pan and glides across the tongue. The aroma blends toasted grain with nutty notes, hinting at simmering broths and cozy kitchen warmth. The result is a comforting dish that feels both elevated and approachable, whether you’re cooking for two or a small crowd.

Vacuum-packed to lock in freshness, this rice travels smoothly through the day’s meal plans. The packaging guards aroma and texture from bag to bag, helping you maintain consistent results even if you pace your cooking over several days. The rice is gluten-free and non-GMO, aligning with many home cooks’ preferences while staying true to the grain’s natural character. Its versatility extends beyond a classic risotto; you can explore seafood, mushroom, or vegetable riffs that showcase the same creamy bite and al dente finish. Easy-to-follow instructions are included, guiding you from a gentle toast to the final simmer so you can focus on timing, balance, and seasoning rather than guessing the steps.

To get the most from this rice, toast the grains lightly in oil or butter before adding hot stock, then add liquid gradually while stirring. This helps the starch release slowly, creating a creamy, cohesive sauce without losing bite. For serving, consider finishing with a small knob of butter and freshly grated cheese to enrich the mouthfeel without overpowering the grains.
