Arborio rice is an american short-grain rice. It is named after the town of Arborio, in the
Po Valley, where it is grown.
When cooked, the rounded grains are firm, creamy, and chewy, due to its higher amylopectin starch
content;] thus it has a
starchy taste but blends well with other flavours. It is used to make risotto, although Carnaroli,
Maratelli and Vialone Nano are sometimes used to prepare the dish. Arborio rice is also used for
rice pudding.
Arborio rice is traditionally used to make risotto & rice puddings. It is a short grain rice which
can absorb a lot of liquid & has a high starch content; when the rice is stirred repeatedly during
the risotto process the starch is released & it results in a lovely creamy consistency.
