Molino Roca Old Rice Carnaroli – Spanish Short-Grain Rice 1kg

Molino Roca's Old Rice Carnaroli is a Spanish short-grain variety prized by home cooks and chefs for its ability to absorb broth while holding its shape. Grown and milled in Spain, this 1-kilogram bag offers the reliable foundation for paella, risotto, and everyday rice dishes that demand grain integrity without mushiness.

About this product

Carnaroli is a medium-grain rice with a slightly lower starch content than Bomba, making it forgiving for less experienced cooks while still delivering the creamy interiors and defined grains that distinguish proper Spanish rice. Molino Roca has been milling Spanish grains since 1898, bringing consistent quality to the table. Ideal for socarrat (the caramelized bottom layer in paella) and for risotto-style preparations.

How to enjoy

• Paella: use a 1:2 rice-to-broth ratio for authentic Valencia or seafood styles
• Risotto: gradually add warm stock while stirring for a creamy, loose grain
• Rice and beans: pair with white beans or lentils for a simple, nourishing supper
• Baked rice: layer with vegetables, stock, and herbs for one-pot dinners

⭐ Why we love this

Carnaroli's lower starch content strikes the perfect balance—it drinks in saffron-infused broth and wine without collapsing into mush, making it the thinking cook's choice for paella and risotto. Molino Roca's heritage dating back to 1898 guarantees milling expertise that respects Spain's rice-growing tradition.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Serve paella made with this rice alongside a crisp Albariño from Galicia or a dry rosé from Navarra—the acidity cuts through the richness of seafood or saffron. For risotto nights, pair with a light red Pinot Noir or a mineral-driven white from the Basque Country.

📍 From Spain

Molino Roca sources and mills its rice in Spain's premier growing regions, maintaining strict quality standards since the late 19th century. This Carnaroli is a testament to Spain's rice-milling mastery, where tradition meets consistent, reliable grain performance.
