Carnaroli is a medium-long grain rice characterized by its large content of starch, which makes the grain solid, compact and optimally resistant to cooking. In fact, it is one of the rice varieties preferred by top chefs and is considered the best quality variety among the Italian ones.
Highly appreciated in the preparation of risotto, Carnaroli rice performs better than other varieties during slow cooking because it has greater amounts of amylose which make it more creamy.
It belongs to the category of “superfine” rice and is often called the “king of rice”. It is best used for Risotto.

Beca Imports specializes in the importation of fine Italian organic products and is focused on finding the best of Italian foods from all regions of the country.

Beca Imports searches every region of Italy to provide only authentic Italian food products characterized by freshness and natural flavors. They stand true to these values, and are committed to relationships with their suppliers to deliver premium quality products that everyone will enjoy.
Since coming to live and work in America, Luca saw that the people here love to experience Italian food culture. However, he felt that the products available to them were not what he thought to be authentic Italian food. Luca’s cousin, Mattia, still lives and works in Italy as Beca’s contact with farms and local producers. Luca and Mattia want to share with the American people the “real” Italian food experience without having to leave their homes.
