Riso Arborio
Ref: PAS-PTARBA001
Weight: 1 Kg
Large grain super-fine rice. Ideal for preparing plain rice dishes. This quality of rice is the most common variety used in Italy. It is named after the town of Arborio, in the Po Valley, where it is grown. When cooked, the rounded grains are firm, creamy, and chewy, due to its higher amylopectin starch content; thus, it has a starchy taste but blends well with other flavours. It is used to make risotto, although Carnaroli, Maratelli and Vialone Nano are sometimes used to prepare the dish. Arborio rice is also used for rice pudding.
