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 Italian dish risotto.
The short, plump grains of our Brown Arborio Rice make it an excellent choice for a side dish or a bed for sauces.
Brown Arborio Rice can still be used in traditional risotto preparations, but benefits from a quick parboiling before toasting and cooking in broth for the classic dish.
Storage & handling
Store in a dry, cool place.
