Discover the Cascina Alberona Risotto Rice Bag: four outstanding varieties of Italian rice, selected to prepare different risottos, each with its own distinctive character.

In a single bag, you will find 4 kg of rice, featuring four of the most highly regarded varieties for preparing risotto:

- Carnaroli Classico

- Baldo Classico

- Vialone Nano

- Arborio

Four types of rice, four ways of interpreting risotto. Although they are all suitable for this preparation, each variety has different characteristics in terms of texture, creaminess, and ability to absorb flavours.

The Four Rice Varieties

Carnaroli Classico – The Prince of Rice

A highly prized variety, with a distinctive and slightly sweet flavour, featuring a firm and elastic grain even after cooking. Thanks to its excellent cooking resistance, it is ideal for achieving risottos with well-defined grains and the perfect texture. Our Carnaroli is obtained exclusively from controlled and certified seed varieties “CLASSICO” and “CARNAROLI DA CARNAROLI PAVESE”.

Baldo Classico – The Creamy Grain

With its large, regular grain and characteristic pearly white colour, Baldo Classico develops a pleasantly creamy texture during cooking. Its delicate flavour and ability to absorb dressings and flavours well make it perfect for a wide variety of recipes.

Vialone Nano – The Versatile Grain

Characterised by medium-sized, rounded grains that are compact and have good cooking resistance. Vialone Nano releases starch easily and allows you to achieve soft and creamy risottos, making it a particularly versatile variety in the kitchen.

Arborio – The Great Italian Classic

Its long, semi-round and slightly square-shaped grain, with its characteristic pearly appearance, contains a starch-rich core. During cooking, it absorbs liquids and dressings well while maintaining a firm centre and creating rich, creamy and enveloping risottos.

Four Rice Varieties, Endless Recipes

From the most traditional risottos to the most creative recipes, the Risotto Rice Bag allows you to choose the rice best suited to the result you want to achieve every time.

Carnaroli Classico for those looking for a firm, well-defined grain.

Baldo Classico for creamy risottos rich in flavour.

Vialone Nano for a soft and particularly creamy texture.

Arborio for an enveloping risotto, creamy on the outside and firm at the heart.

Four different personalities, enclosed in a single bag and united by the same great tradition of Italian rice.
