Arborio rice is a classic Italian short-grain rice known for its high starch content, which creates a rich, creamy texture while still maintaining a slight firmness at the center. It absorbs flavors beautifully, making it a staple for risotto, rice puddings, and other creamy rice dishes. Cooking Instructions: Use about 1 cup of Arborio rice for 2–3 servings. Lightly sauté in butter or oil, then gradually add about 3 to 4 cups of warm broth, stirring often. Continue adding liquid until the rice is creamy and tender with a slight bite, usually 18–20 minutes. Serve immediately.

FIRM & CREAMY – This rounded short-grain rice is chewy, firm, and turns creamy once it is cooked due to its higher amount of amylopectin starch. It is perfect for making a creamy risotto dish.
BLENDS WELL – This rice blends well with other flavours and has quite a starchy taste over other types of rice that we find in stores and markets.
USAGE IDEAS - Rice pilaf, rice puddings, arancini and paella are all dishes that work well with this rice. Risotto is famously made with this type of rice. You can create a variety of mouth-watering dishes with arborio rice - including savoury and sweet meals.
VERSATILE - Whether you want to make a soup or stew or a paella or risotto meatballs, you can do so much with Arborio Epigrain Rice. It is a flexible type of rice and can be added to both sweet and savoury dishes.
SOAKS UP JUICES - The great thing about this rice is that if you throw it into a paella or minestrone soup, it soaks up the chicken juices and stock unlike any long-grain rice can. It offers more flavour with each and every bite.
