Carnaroli rice is a premium, medium-grain Italian rice, often called the "king of rice", particularly prized for its use in risotto. It's known for its high starch content, which creates a creamy texture, and its ability to maintain a firm, al dente bite even after cooking. This makes it a favorite among chefs for producing a rich, flavorful risotto that doesn't become mushy.
Riserva San Massimo is one of the few Italian farms that cultivate Carnaroli Classico. Since 2005, their Director Dino Massignani has overseen a careful selection process, preserving the original variety of the seed. They commit to a cultivation method based on non-intensive production techniques, with zero environmental impact and complete respect for nature.
For this reason, the authentic Carnaroli Classico from Riserva San Massimo is the result of a delicate balance between nature, human labor, and innovation.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
