Cascina Belvedere Arborio Italian Rice,1kg

• Arborio Rice is best known as the classic Italian rice for making risotto. Arborio rice falls into the category of “short-grained rice.” This differentiates it from long-grained rice, such as the narrow grains of jasmine or basmati rice. Arborio rice is shaped more like a football, with a smooth, shiny exterior.
• The Arborio rice is the most typical and widespread Italian rice for risottos, its grains are also the largest among all the varieties of rice grown in Italy.
• The high starch content gives this rice a creamy and chewy texture. Because of its high starch content, Arborio rice is ideal for making risotto, rice pudding and sushi.
• Arborio is extremely versatile and can be used to prepare a host of Italian-inspired dishes like baked arancini stuffed with mushrooms or aubergine, and desserts like apple cider risotto cheesecake and banana pecan rice pudding.
• Be sure not to rinse or wash Arborio Rice as that will eliminate its sticky, starchy qualities.(Cook between 15 and 17 minutes for a nice result.)
