Risotto Riso Carnaroli | Riseria Gazzani

Carnaroli is the best, highest quality superfine rice from Piedmont, and is the preferred rice type in most regions of Italy.

Most often referred to as the 'king of rices', it is a favourite with chefs as it is more resistant to overcooking than Arborio.

The medium grain is well-rounded and extremely absorbent, with a complex starch structure that produces a very luxurious, thick and creamy risotto without the need of extra dairy products.

The legacy of Riseria Gazzani traces back centuries to the Renaissance era in Vigasio, Verona. The mill’s origins, dating between the late 15th and early 16th centuries, mark the inception of agricultural activity in the region, evolving into a rice mill that persists to this day.

At Riseria Gazzani, each day is dedicated to preserving the tradition of artisanal rice processing. The grains cultivated on our pristine land impart not only goodness but also well-being. 

With reverence for the past and a vision for the future, Riseria Gazzani remains steadfast in its dedication to producing quality rice products. Their history is a testament to the enduring connection between land, tradition, and the artistry of rice cultivation
