What is this product?
Scotti Carnaroli is a rice variety valued in professional kitchens for risotto. The 1 kg reference offers a practical working format for preparing creamy dishes while keeping the grains distinct and pleasantly al dente when cooked with the right method.
Producer and format
Scotti is the brand and Polo SpA is the supplier. The sales format is a 1 kg pack. Use the pack label for storage and sales handling.
Product profile
Carnaroli rice has a firm grain and a strong ability to release starch during gradual cooking. This creates the creamy body expected in risotto while helping the grain retain a defined centre. Its neutral cereal profile carries broths, vegetables, seafood, meat preparations and cheese-based seasonings.
Professional uses and quantities
For a main-course risotto, start with about 80 to 100 g of dry rice per guest and adjust to the menu and the other ingredients. Toast the grains, add liquid gradually and finish the dish while the centre remains pleasantly firm; one 1 kg pack gives a clear basis for planning kitchen portions.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not rinse the rice before a classic risotto, add all the liquid at once or leave the pan unattended during the key cooking stages. Avoid overcooking the grain and add the final fat or cheese off the strongest heat so the texture remains creamy rather than heavy.
Storage and handling
Keep the pack closed in a cool, dry place away from humidity, heat and strong odours. After opening, seal the remaining rice well and use clean, dry utensils. Rotate stock by the date shown on the pack and protect the grains from moisture that could affect cooking and storage quality.
