Ingredient Information

Arborio Rice

This is a slightly round, short grained rice with a high starch content.
The grains have a pearly sheen. As arborio rice cooks, its starch is released
into the cooking liquid to make a creamy, rich sauce. The rice is grown widely
in Europe, especially in Italy, but also in Spain (where Calasparra rice is
more commonly used). There are now many growers in the U.S that produce an
excellent quality Arborio rice.

The term “risotto” actually refers to the Italian rice dish made
with Arborio rice, although the two terms have become nearly synonymous.
