Riso Buono Carnaroli Gran Riserva in a Reusable Glass Jar is premium Italian Carnaroli rice naturally aged for one year and presented in an elegant reusable glass container. Prized for its cooking performance and ability to maintain the structure of each grain, Carnaroli is one of Italy's most celebrated rice varieties for risotto.
What Is Carnaroli Gran Riserva?
Riso Buono naturally ages its Carnaroli Gran Riserva for one year while the rice is still rough and unprocessed. According to the producer, this aging process helps the rice increase more in volume during cooking, release less starch and minerals, and maintain well-separated grains that resist overcooking.
Why Is Carnaroli Used for Risotto?
Carnaroli is especially prized for Italian risotto because its grains absorb flavorful cooking liquid while maintaining their structure. This makes it well suited to creating a creamy risotto while preserving the texture of the individual grains.
How to Use Carnaroli Rice
Use for classic risotto alla Milanese, mushroom risotto, seafood risotto, vegetable risotto, or other Italian rice dishes. Riso Buono recommends a cooking time beginning at approximately 13 minutes, depending on your preferred texture.

This 950 g presentation is packaged in Riso Buono's reusable glass jar, making it an attractive pantry staple as well as a beautiful option for gifting to Italian food and cooking enthusiasts.
