It is therefore ideal for porridge, soups, rice desserts, and various kinds of timbale, croquettes, arancini and supplì risotto balls. It takes about 10 minutes to cook.

The Cascina Venerìa's Carnaroli fire-colour sculpture has preserved its shell layer, except for all but the outermost layers. It is therefore much richer in nutritional value than bleached rice. It retains all the vitamins, minerals, fibres, proteins and unsaturated fats inherent in rice. It's an aromatic and healthy variety of rice for all your risottos!
A full grain rice requires a long cooking time. It is advisable to start by letting the grains soak in cold cooking water, bring to the boil and leave to cook for about 40-50 minutes.

Baldo, bred from the Arborio variety, has recently become a popular rice variety, recognised by its relatively large, firm and translucent grains. It absorbs a lot of liquid but retains a firm and loose texture when cooked. Baldo is therefore an excellent variety for risottos and timbale, for example. It has a rich flavour and is now considered one of the best varieties of rice.
