Meracinque cultivates Carnaroli Classico, the most popular risotto rice in Italy.
Known as the "king of rice," Carnaroli remains perfectly al dente during cooking, while releasing its starch to create a creamy yet structured risotto, significantly surpassing the Arborio or Vialone Nano varieties.
Professional chefs and gourmets alike appreciate its consistency and flavor. What further elevates Meracinque's Carnaroli rice is its 12-month aging ("invecchiato per un anno"), which allows the grains to slowly harden, preserving their nutritional content and improving their texture.
The rice grains are dried at low temperatures, preventing them from breaking and avoiding the formation of harmful residues, thus ensuring maximum purity and optimal cooking properties of the rice.
They work with their own seed stock, which is 100% quality-certified Carnaroli. The rice is cultivated in crop rotation, with minimal tillage and sustainable cycles, preserving soil health.
They use fully compostable packaging that decomposes in 90 days, without microplastics, closing the sustainable loop from seed to packaging.
Blockchain traceability allows consumers to see exactly where and how the rice was grown, harvested, processed, and packaged.
Meracinque stands at the intersection of tradition, innovation, sustainability, and female leadership. It embodies a modern, conscious Italian family brand: transparent, environmentally friendly, and relentlessly quality-oriented. In the rice grains, you can taste not only the excellent flavor of Carnaroli but also the story and commitment of five sisters striving for excellence and a better future. For risotto lovers and serious gastronomy enthusiasts, Meracinque Carnaroli is not just rice – it's a revelation.
