Similar to arborio rice, carnaroli rice is grown in the Piedmont and Lombardy regions of northwest Italy.  Carnaroli, a short grain Italian white rice, is considered one of the best rices to use in risotto.  With greater absorption qualities than arborio, it is also a bit more firm.

One of a small number of vertically integrated Italian rice producers, Cascina Veneria controls production from the selection of seeds to final product.  This rice provides a consistent, flawless product time and time again.
