Principato Di Lucedio Carnaroli Rice, 1.1 Pound

Cooked up like a dream. Nice and creamy on the outside, slightly al dente inside. Perfect!

I switched from aborio rice to carnaroli about a year ago. This rice grain cooks faster, absorbs more and is much creamier. I've tried a few different brands and they all seem to be equal. I now decide which brand based on price - and I have not been disappointed with any brand that I have tried. One other thing - not only is the cooking time faster, but the tedious job of adding stock, stirring and adding some more is less tedious. I add a lot more stock, stir and wait until the grains have absorbed, then add more stock and repeat the process. The results are impressive!

delicious risotto - everyone loves it!

Absolutely delicious for risotto. A little bit pricey, but well worth it, it you want the best.

Lucedio rice has been my preferred brand for making risotto for many years now. There are many very good producers of rice in Italy but Lucedio has a history that makes it irresistable to me.The property is an old Cistertian abbey that dates back to the 12th century. It also was the first location that rice was planted in Italy when it first imported in the 1100s.The monks successful cultivation of rice made the monks fabulously wealthy. So wealthy, the Pope had them killed for associating with 'witches'.Great story, great history that makes this rice taste that much better!

This is great rice, better than aborio rice for making risotto even though it is very similar. It is the real deal from the heart of the rice growing region in italy.I thought that the price for for two pounds of rice. $15 for a pound of this rice is gouging. Theseller is taking advantage of free shipping from amazon. I found the exact same product for 6.99 + shipping.Amazon may not be the cheapest, buyer beware. Shop around outside of amazon first and then compare.Product was shipped the next day.

It’s really good for risotto, so tasty.

Been making risotto as a special dish for years and this is by far the BEST rice.What came in was not what I ordered. Not to say the substitution will not be excellent as “carnaroli” rice IS the only one to use for great risotto, I have not tried the sub.Will update when I do.
