A combination of sandy soil and rich spring water creates the perfect location for Italy’s Gazzani Farm, where superfine rice has been grown since 1648. Marco Soave, who inherited the property several years ago, still uses the farm’s original ancient stone mill to process these grains with the upmost care. Each variety can be used to produce the oh-so-Italian risotto, from the creamy carnaroli to the hearty brown integrale.

Here's what you get:

  • 1kg box of Gazzani Carnaroli Rice (pearled risotto rice)
  • 1kg box of Gazzani Vialone Nano Rice (a thicker, polished rice)
  • 1kg box of Gazzani Vialone Nano Pestelli (a coarser, slightly brown rice)
  • 1kg box of Gazzani Integrale (brown rice)

Unhappy with the lack of high-quality Italian products in the U.S., Italian natives Martina Kenworthy and Beatrice Ughi have brought the best of Italy to America. They scour Italy for unique artisanal producers who meet their impeccable standards: organic, natural and traditional applications must be applied to every step of production.

Why We Love It

Is every rice created equal? Not quite: While Gazzani variety can be used for risotto, there are a few differences between the types, primarily in the polishing. Often called the “caviar of rice,” carnaroli has the highest starch content and produces a creamier consistency. Vialone nano is a thicker, smoother grain with a yeasty aroma. The slightly less processed nano pestelli holds onto some of the rice husk, creating a pale, brownish rice, while integrale, the coarsest of the Gazzani selection, is a nutty-flavored, whole-husked brown rice. The later two are perfect for creating heartier rustic style soups and salads.
