Cordero Gran Cavour Rice stands out for its huge grain—even larger than renowned Italian risotto rices like Carnaroli and Arborio—and its distinctive aroma. In fact, it’s the only aromatic risotto rice! Cooking in around 16 minutes, it tastes soft and delicate with a pleasant chewiness. Outside of risotto, it also works a treat in everything from arancini to galettes.
Luigi Cordero launched his company Molino di Borgo San Dalmazzo in 1958 to grind local grain for local bakeries. To celebrate their grandfather’s achievement, the family recently rebranded under his name, expanding their range and their markets without losing the integrity, authenticity and goodness that made the original mill so beloved in Borgo San Dalmazzo. The Cordero Gran Cavour Rice is a great advertisement for Cordero’s intense and abiding “passione italiana.”
