Italian Arborio Rice

Arborio is Italian white rice grown in the Piedmont and Lombardy regions of Italy. Arborio rice is used primarily in risotto dishes, which often reflect the seasons. In spring use baby vegetables, in summer tomato & basil, in autumn wild mushrooms & in winter seafood. Serve as an entree or a side dish! Arborio absorbs more liquid than other rice thus requiring additional liquid to be added throughout the cooking period.
