Riviana Arborio Rice

Riviana Arborio Rice

Arborio rice is a short, round grain with a pearly exterior. It retains more of its natural starch, allowing the rice to absorb a lot of liquid and flavour during cooking. Arborio is Italy's favourite rice for risotto's and is also ideal for other Mediterranean dishes such as paellas, and stuffed vegetables. For perfect results that retain the creaminess of the grain, it is important not to rinse the rice prior to cooking.
