Description
Refined Arborio rice is known for its very high starch content: during cooking, the grain tends to release this substance, creating a natural creaminess perfect for Italian cuisine. At the same time, the heart of the grain remains slightly al dente, giving a pleasant texture to the bite.
Cultivated today not only in Piedmont but also in Lombardy and some areas of southern Italy, Arborio continues to be one of the preferred choices of chefs and enthusiasts, thanks to its balance between tradition, cooking performance, and delicate flavor.
Curiosity
Arborio rice is one of the most famous varieties in the Italian rice landscape. It takes its name from the town of Arborio, in the province of Vercelli, in the heart of Piedmont’s rice fields, where this variety was born and has spread since the 1940s.
