Gli Aironi’s smoked Italian Carnaroli rice elevates Italy’s most prized risotto grain with a delicate infusion of cherry wood smoke. Carnaroli, celebrated as the “king of rices” for its large, plump grains, superior texture, and subtly sweet flavor, takes on an added depth after 14 hours of gentle smoking. The result is a grain that cooks to creamy perfection while carrying soft, woody notes that enhance both classic and creative dishes.
Produced in Piedmont by the Perinotti family, fifth-generation rice growers, this Carnaroli reflects Gli Aironi’s dedication to exceptional quality and artisanal methods. Ideal for risotto, its nuanced smokiness also shines when simply boiled, dressed with olive oil, and paired with meat, seafood, or vegetables, bringing an elegant layer of flavor to every bite.
