Description
RISERVA ALBERONA is the crown jewel of Cascina Alberona’s production: its best selection of Classic Carnaroli rice, in limited quantity, aged for 24 months in temperature-controlled silos within the company, for an even more prestigious rice.

The aged grain is not only more resistant to cooking but also better at absorbing the seasonings of your recipe. It’s no wonder it’s the most loved quality by top chefs for preparing risottos.

RISERVA ALBERONA rice is a Carnaroli obtained exclusively from controlled and certified seed as “CLASSICO” and as “CARNAROLI DA CARNAROLI PAVESE.”

The aforementioned characteristics, along with the exceptional compactness of the elongated grains with a small central part, make it one of the best rice qualities on the market and the flagship product of Cascina Alberona, which, after over 30 years in the rice agriculture sector, has the experience and production capabilities necessary for its cultivation and processing.

Processing
The selection of grains goes through a meticulous process that, thanks to the subsequent 24 months of aging, ensures better cooking resistance and less stickiness, thus enhancing the quality of your risotto with well-separated grains on the plate and the intense flavor of rice on the palate.
