Gallo Carnaroli Rice

Gallo Carnaroli Rice is a premium Italian rice variety renowned for its exceptional quality and suitability for making risotto. The Carnaroli variety was developed in 1945 through the crossing of Vialone and Lencino rice strains, resulting in a grain that is larger, firmer, and more consistent in size compared to other varieties. This rice is primarily cultivated in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, particularly in the provinces of Vercelli, Novara, and Pavia, which are renowned for their rice production. The cultivation process emphasizes sustainable agriculture, with Riso Gallo overseeing the entire supply chain to ensure environmentally friendly practices. The company utilizes traditional stone husking methods, which gently abrade the grains, preserving their nutritional qualities and enhancing their flavor. Riso Gallo, established in 1856, is a family-owned company that has been producing high-quality rice for over six generations. It is one of the oldest and most respected rice producers in Italy, exporting its products to over 60 countries worldwide. The company is headquartered in Robbio Lomellina, in the heart of Italy's rice-growing region, and is among the largest rice producers in Europe. Riso Gallo's commitment to quality and sustainability has solidified its reputation as a leading brand in the rice industry.
