 Best rice for risotto November 27, 2008
Estelle Tracy (Pennsylvanie, Etats-Unis)
This is the only rice I use for risotto. Carnaroli is a more delicate rice than Arborio, much harder to overcook. If you are a beginner at risotto, I would recommend getting Carnaroli since it's a much more forgiving rice. This product from Lotus Foods is excellent and I would recommend it to anyone willing to try making risotto at home.
 Big Disappointment January 9, 2007

I was very disappointed by this rice. I paid a lot of money per pound and it tasted like any regular parboiled rice. Also the rice was from Argentina and not Italy. It tastes nothing like the creamy rissotto rice from Italy. I do not recommend this rice to anybody.
Excellent Risotto Rice, the one I typically use in my home July 14, 2006

A passionate home cook that has been honing her cooking skills for the last 25 years, concentrating on Italian for the last 10 years, writes this review. My favorite cookbooks are "The Professional Chef" by the Culinary Institute and "Culinary Artistry". I initially purchased the Carnaroli Rice on a whim because it wasn't the typical Arborio that I normally use. Now I buy it because I like it more than Arborio.
Pros:
1. Excellent for Risotto
2. Texturally a little harder than Arborio
3. Seems to be more starchy than Arborio
4. Makes a lovely Risotto cake or Arancini di Riso
Cons:
1. Difficult to locate
If you only make your risotto with Arborio rice I highly recommend that you give this rice a try. I find that I select the Carnaroli first for risotto since it seems to be easier to obtain an al dente texture than with the Arborio. If you haven't tried this rice it is certainly worth checking out.
