Riso Scotti Carnaroli rice

Riso Scotti is a premier Italian rice brand with a history dating back to 1860. The product shown, identified by its barcode, is the Riso Scotti Carnaroli Rice (1kg), often celebrated as the 'king of rice' for making authentic Italian risottos due to its high starch content and firm texture.

The brand's story began in the Pavia region of Italy, a historic heartland for rice cultivation. Over the generations, the Scotti family transformed a small farming venture into a global industrial leader. They were pioneers in packaging, being the first to introduce vacuum-sealed rice packs to maintain freshness in 1992.

While the company entered a joint venture with the Spanish multinational Ebro Foods in 2013, it maintains its headquarters and primary manufacturing hub in Pavia, Italy. Today, Riso Scotti is a global ambassador for Italian culinary heritage, exporting to over 85 countries.
