100% Italian rice. The Carnaroli rice from Antica Riseria San Giovanni is a very high-quality superfine rice, widespread throughout Italy but mainly produced in Piedmont in the Vercelli area. Carnaroli is considered the King of rice, a historic variety in Italian cuisine and rice cultivation, always the most used for risottos thanks to the large size of its grains and the high percentage of starch that allows it to hold cooking better. Carnaroli rice belongs to the japonica subspecies of Oryza Sativa within the category of superfine type A rice. Its grain is characterized by an elongated shape, about 7 millimeters, a pearly white color, and great resistance, making it beloved in cooking. To its excellent gastronomic characteristics, there is also an additional positive aspect that should not be underestimated: the impact on blood sugar. In fact, Carnaroli has one of the lowest glycemic indices among all Italian rice, a feature that makes it a valuable choice for health as well as for taste. The processing of Carnaroli rice from Antica Riseria San Giovanni is carried out in a "light" manner, to avoid depriving the grain of its nutrients and enhancing its organoleptic characteristics. Cooking time: 18 minutes. Vacuum-packed product. Agricultural Company Grangia was founded in Fontanetto Po in the first half of the 1930s when Felice Grangia took over his father's small piece of land and started rice production. To this day, Agricultural Company Grangia, fully committed to rice production, is managed by his children and grandchildren with a keen eye on family tradition. "Our strengths are traceability and the protection of the high quality of the product." The processing of rice, with the help of traditional techniques along with technological innovations, is carried out "lightly" to avoid depriving the grain of its precious nutrients and to favor not just its external appearance, but rather its organoleptic characteristics.
