Carnaroli is considered the "king of rices" it Italy, for its superior texture, large grains, and sweet flavor. Gli Aironi selects only the best batches of Carnaroli in their pursuit of excellence. With its well-shelled grains and great consistency, this exceptional Carnaroli rice is ideal for risottos and salads. For the past five generations, Gli Aironi has focused on improving farming conditions in the Vercelli region of northern Italy, implementing less invasive agriculture and restoring the local ecosystem. Their rice is minimally processed, retaining part of the germ where protein and vitamins A, D, E, and K are present. This is impossible with industrial processing methods, which cannot guarantee the retention of nutrients. The company constantly seeks perfection, assisted by food scientist Michele Perinotti, and has led international chefs (including Jamie Oliver) to choose Gli Aironi rice. Gluten free, nut free, soy free, vegan, vegetarian. Net weight: 750 g/26.5 oz
