Riso Carnaroli DOP by Riso Zaccaria is a white rice from the Baraggia area, between the provinces of Biella and Vercelli in Piedmont, Italy.
It is produced exclusively from the Carnaroli variety, without blending with other rice varieties. Grown using integrated farming methods alongside sustainable and regenerative practices, it is milled and packaged on the producer’s own estate, Cascina Margaria.
It is characterised by large, firm grains, a distinctive flavour and excellent texture retention during cooking. Particularly suited to risotto, it also works well in baked rice dishes, rice salads and paella. Its flavour shines in simple preparations, served with butter and Parmesan or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
