The Italian rice dish known as risotto is the most common use for Arborio. There are as many variations of risotto as there are recipes for pasta. Risotto can be rich and complex with cheese, meat and heavy spices, light with simple ingredients and fresh vegetables or something in-between. By following a slow-cook method of continuously adding small portions of hot cooking liquid, the starch in Arborio rice creates a naturally creamy sauce even without the addition of butter. Though risotto may be the most well-known dish, it’s not the only way to use our wholesale Arborio. It thickens soup, makes creamy rice pudding and, once cooked, makes a superior binder for crab cakes, croquettes or vegetable fritters. You can even grind Arborio in a spice grinder and use it to coat delicate pan-seared fish for a perfect crust.
Arborio rice is a gluten-free product. No additives or preservatives are needed to maintain the integrity of the grains. Even with its high starch level, Arborio does not contain more carbohydrates per serving than other types of rice and can be substituted freely. Store as you would any other type of rice, in an airtight container away from moisture.
