Arborio Rice

Arborio rice, named after the small town near Vercelli where it originated, is now widely cultivated in the region.  With the largest grains among Italian rices, it stands out for its excellence, particularly in the preparation of risotto. Its high starch content allows the grains to swell during cooking while retaining a delicate firmness in the core.  These features make it an exceptional choice for a variety of mixes and other recipes. A must for lovers of fine cuisine. Store in a cool, dry place.
