Description
- Arborio is a Japonica cultivar of the rice variety Oryza sativa. Arborio is a plump, oval-shaped, short-grain variety of rice.
- Prized for its high starch content and ability to absorb the flavors it is paired with, Arborio is primarily used in the risotto dishes.
- Finally, restrictive trade laws were lifted in the late 1970's and early 1980's, allowing for the import of specialty foods from Italy. Today Arborio is grown domestically in several states.
