Ferron Carnaroli Rice - 1kg

Ferron Carnaroli is a superb Italian rice and the first choice of many Italian chefs for cooking the perfect risotto. This is because it tends to retain its texture and not over-cook easily. It is the ideal rice to use with ingredients that tend to release a lot of fluid such as seafood, tomatoes and mushrooms. It is also perfect for rice salads. Cooking time is 14 to 15 minutes for ‘al dente’.

Ferron Carnaroli has a slightly nutty flavour. It also has a high amylose content (24.1%). This relatively high amylose content gives Carnaroli the admirable quality of allowing a significant window between cooked and overcooked risotto.
