Molino Roca's Carnaroli Old Rice is much more than just rice: it is the result of a precise and patient artisanal process, designed for those who value flavor, texture and respect for the product.
Italian seed, Mediterranean soul : This variety is born from the pure and certified seed of Carnaroli from Piedmont , sown in the heart of the Albufera Natural Park (Valencia), one of the most prestigious rice-growing areas in Europe.
Natural and slow aging : After harvesting, the beans are transported to Alto Palencia , where they undergo an aging process under optimal conditions: cool, dry, and dark. Only when they have reached the ideal level of dehydration does the slow, unhurried processing begin, resulting in a white, polished bean with maximum absorption capacity .
Perfectly cooked for creamy dishes and risottos : Thanks to its aging process, Carnaroli Old Rice hydrates gradually and in a controlled manner, capturing every nuance of the broth. The result: a creamy texture without losing the firmness of the grain. It is the ideal rice for Italian risottos, mushroom rice, creamy seafood dishes, or rich broths.
Slow milling, extraordinary flavor : This rice is not mass-produced or rushed. Each stage is designed to respect the grain's original quality and enhance it over time. Molino Roca's expertise in slow milling since 1903 makes it an exclusive product for those who seek the very best.
