The Classic Whole Carnaroli Rice from Acqua e Sole is truly extraordinary! It is no coincidence that Carnaroli is called the "King of rices": thanks to its high starch content, firmer texture, and longer grains, it holds up exceptionally well during cooking. Carnaroli rice is a variety originating from Pavia, Novara, and Vercelli, created in 1945 by the rice grower Angelo De Vecchi from Paullo, who crossed two other rice varieties: Vialone and Lencino. The name of this particular rice seems to come from one of his collaborators, named Carnaroli. This is primarily a whole grain rice that retains many more nutritional properties compared to traditional refined white rice because, being less processed, it contains a higher amount of fiber. Whole grain rice is a highly digestible food, very beneficial for the intestines, and has a lower glycemic index precisely due to its high fiber content.
