Carnaroli Rice

Grown in Northern Italy, Carnaroli rice is excellent for use in risottos and other slow cooked rice dishes. The longer grain size sets it aside from the more widely known Arborio rice and a high starch content allows the rice to maintain a firm texture and protects it from over-cooking.

Paella Rice

This variety of rice is extremely absorbent, and is excellent for demonstrating the flavours of a good stock. When cooked, it acquires a beautifully creamy texture. It is recommended for different types of dishes such as paella, baked rice and even risotto.

Black Rice

Originating in China, but now also grown in the Po Valley, Italy, black rice has small stretched grains. A long cooking time and its ability to remain al dente make it a perfect choice for baked rice dishes, risottos and puddings. Its distinctive purple/black pigment makes it an eye-catching substitute for white rice.
