Art Foods Arborio Rice 500g

Product description from producer

Arborio rice is a well-known Italian rice used for making risotto, usually medium or round grain. It is believed that this is one of the varieties of Japanese seed rice that was introduced by Arab traders to Spain and Sicily. From there, it came to Italy, where the grain began to be grown on a large scale in the 15th and 16th centuries. Arborio rice is named after the commune of Arborio, which is located in the province of Vercelli in Italy. The most delicious rice is grown near the Po River basin on the Padana Plain. The secret of its popularity is that during cooking, it significantly increases in volume, forming a creamy, but not stuck together mass, which is ideal for risotto. Treat yourself to this wonderful Italian dish!
