DESCRIPTION:

The Carnaroli Classico Semilavorato Riso di Nori aspires to be the highest quality expression of one of Italy's most popular risotto varieties. It is obtained exclusively from certified Carnaroli variety seed and not from other similar varieties and is cultivated on our own land. When weather conditions permit, sowing is done in dry conditions in order to predetermine the spacing of the seedlings. This factor, combined with the sowing density, allows the seedlings to find a more aerated and, therefore, healthier microenvironment. These measures find their fulfilment in the meticulous and careful work of the mondine and are enhanced by slow drying in gas plants with heat recovery and stabilisation in modern silos. During processing, the grains are first stripped of their outer husks with two rollers that rotate in the opposite direction and at a self-adjusting distance so as not to compromise the grains. Subsequently, in order to make the most of the distinctive characteristics of Carnaroli and not to lose the innermost layers of the pericarp while retaining part of the bud, the removal of the whole husk takes place with a stone and is stopped after just the second bleaching machine. The result is a semi-processed Carnaroli, characterised by a larger grain and denser paste, capable of holding its cooking longer and fully releasing its flavour, keeping the risotto grainy thanks to the balance of starches.
