Arborio Rice, Imported from Italy

A superfino classified rice, named after the nearby commune of Arborio in the province of Vercelli, this rice cultivar is the most well known Italian rice in the world.

The rice kernels are shorter than Carnaroli, with a burnished uniform opaque creamy color and a solid white center. Arborio has a high starch content that is released slowly in the cooking process, creating a lush blanket of creamy starch that coats each kernel. Commonly used in classic dishes such as Ristotto alla Milanese or even Rice Pudding.

Risotto Caprese Salad

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Principato di Lucedio Arborio Rice
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella, chopped into bite-sized pieces to match the size of the halved cherry tomatoes
  • 10–12 large basil leaves, torn by hand into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup olive oil
  • Sea salt & pepper to taste

Directions

To pre-cook the rice: Bring salted water to a boil. Add rice to the boiling water, and cook until al dente, approximately 12 minutes. Drain rice, and spread lightly with your fingers on a baking sheet to cool (this helps it retain its al dente texture). Allow to cool.

To prepare the dish: In a large bowl combine cooked rice, mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil leaves. Pour olive oil over the mixture and stir to distribute evenly. Stir in cracked pepper and salt to taste.

    I have been using this rice for risotto for a number of years. Good creamy texture. Will be trying the Carniroli to expand my rice horizon

    Instead of risotto, I make a breakfast porridge with this arborio rice and it comes out delicious. I've tried other types of rice, including other brands, but this one has the best taste.
