Arborio rice – 1kg

Arborio rice is a classic Italian rice variety from the Vercelli area, known for its large, pearl-shaped grains and excellent ability to absorb liquid and flavor. The rice’s natural starch content makes it particularly suitable for risotto, where it provides a creamy consistency without losing structure. It can also be used in soups, rice salads, arancini, and other rice-based dishes.
