Arborio Rice Domestic is an Italian White Rice grown in the Piedmont and
Lombardy regions of Italy and also in California. Arborio is a
short, plump grain, when cooked, it has a creamy texture with the
inner grain remaining firm. Arborio absorbs more liquid than other
rices thus requiring additional liquid to be added throughout the
cooking period. It is used primarily in the Italian dish, Risotto.
Arborio is often considered the pasta of Northern Italy.
Suggested Use:
Arborio Rice is used primarily in Risotto dishes, which often
reflect the seasons. In Spring use baby vegetables, in Summer Tomato
and Basil, in Autumn Wild Mushrooms and in Winter Seafood. Serve as
an entree or side dish.
