CARNAROLI CLASSICO RICE

La Balocchina is a Piedmontese farm specialising in the production of high-quality rice. Located in the Biella area, it enhances the Italian rice supply chain through sustainable practices, the use of recyclable materials and processing methods that preserve the natural properties of the grain. It combines agricultural tradition with innovation, offering products that bring together quality, traceability and attention to presentation. The entire production process takes place in Piedmont, with direct control over every stage.
Carnaroli Classico Rice is a premium “Long A” rice, appreciated for its large, oval grain with a distinctive opalescent central pearl that promotes the absorption of flavours and aromas during cooking. Thanks to its structure, it offers excellent cooking resistance: it does not overcook or become soft and retains its shape and definition even in the creamiest risottos. Its high starch content helps achieve a naturally creamy texture, making it ideal for refined risottos. It is perfect not only for traditional risottos but also for more elaborate dishes such as supplì and arancini, where consistency and cohesion of the grain are essential.
Cooking time: 18–19 minutes
