Carnaroli produces lighter results than Arborio making it one of the most prized of all Italian rices and a perfect pairing for robustly-flavoured recipes. Carnaroli is a relatively recent invention, dating from the end of the Second World War when an Italian rice grower crossed Arborio with a Japanese variety, but is now widely grown in the area between Milan and Turin. For a classic Risotto recipe try a Risotto alla Milanese, delicious as a standalone dish, or served with Ossobuco.

Principato di Lucedio is one of Italy's finest rice growing estates. Located in the Piedmont region, Lucedio carries on a 600-year-old-rice-growing tradition. The farm extends over 500 hectares inside a regional park. The entire production process is done with low environmental impact and preservative-free packaging in a modified atmosphere, guaranteeing product freshness and nutritional quality.

This rice is the perfect ingredient for risottos and salads. For a classic Risotto recipe try a Risotto alla Milanese, delicious as a standalone dish, or served with Ossobuco.
