We are excited to introduce our latest offerings from the Dolce Vita family – Superfino Arborio and Carnaroli Rice, your gateway to authentic Italian cuisine! At Dolce Vita, our commitment to delivering the finest gourmet ingredients shines through in our Superfino rice varieties. Here’s what makes them exceptional: Our Superfino rice is crafted with the utmost care, ensuring that each grain meets the highest standards of excellence. It boasts a rich, nutty flavor and a delightful al dente texture that’s perfect for creating creamy risottos, delectable rice puddings, and more. These rice varieties have an unparalleled ability to absorb flavors and sauces, resulting in an authentic taste experience. Risotto rice contains the perfect amount of starch required to create a dish that has a creamy texture and luxurious sauce. Italy produces many varieties of rice which are ideal for making risotto. The highest Italian risotto rice grade is Superfino. Three common types of Superfino rice are Arborio, Carnaroli, and Vialone Nano. These differ in length and vary slightly in starch content and texture. Arborio is the most popular short-grain rice for making risotto. When cooked, the rounded grains are firm, creamy and chewy compared to other varieties of rice, due to their higher starch content. It has a starchy taste and blends well with other flavors.
