Carnaroli Risotto Rice - Riserva San Massimo

Risotto Excellence: The Chef's Choice

Riserva San Massimo Carnaroli rice is produced in the heart of a protected natural park in the Ticino Valley (Lombardy). What sets it apart? It is grown in a pure ecosystem, irrigated by mineral-rich natural springs. Unlike hybrid varieties, this "Carnaroli Autentico" has a unique molecular structure that allows it to release starch while maintaining a firm heart.

Why is this rice exceptional?

Riserva San Massimo uses a slow, low-temperature drying process to preserve the integrity of the grain. The result is unparalleled cooking stability and an extraordinary capacity to absorb flavors (broth, saffron, truffle). At GILDA, we selected this rice for its silky texture and the nutty flavor characteristic of authentic Italian terroir.
