Carnaroli rice

---

Carnaroli is the prince of rice: this variety has a proportioned grain and is rich in amylose, which makes it compact when cooking and ensures optimum results in the kitchen, even in lengthy preparations. Perfect, and irreplaceable for risottos, Carnaroli rice is suitable for almost all the recipes found in the Italian culinary tradition and worldwide dishes.

Arborio rice

---

Arborio rice, selected in 1946 by the agronomist and farmer Domenico Marchetti from Vialone Nano, immediately established itself thanks to its large and well-formed grain and is ideal for risottos, timbales and soups.

Baldo Rice

---

Compact, consistent and with a good crystal structure: this is the Baldo rice grain. This variety was selected in the mid-seventies and, thanks to its versatility, is appreciated for dry dishes such as soups.

Vialone Nano Rice

---

The Vialone Nano Rice has a large and compact grain. It’s a semi-fine rice, particularly suitable for preparing risottos, especially “rustic” risottos. This rice is typical of the lower Lombardy and Veneto (Mantua and Verona) traditions; its ideal cultivation area is located in the Pavia area.

Loto Rice

---

The Loto rice has a very oval and elongated grain: this is a premature variety capable of not over-cooking easily and can be used in the kitchen for both savory risottos or for side-dishes.
