Arborio rice

Short-grain rice that is most commonly used in the preparation of risotto

It is known for its high starch content, which allows it to absorb liquids and create a creamy texture during cooking

It has a mild, neutral flavor that absorbs spices, broths, and other ingredients, making it a perfect base for rich and aromatic dishes

Rinse the rice with water, sauté onions in hot oil, add the rice and briefly sauté. When it comes to a boil, cover and cook on low heat for 16 to 18 minutes.

Due to its ability to maintain a creamy texture while being firm, it is often used for:

• Risotto: its high starch content allows for the creation of a perfectly creamy texture while the grains remain firm. It ideally absorbs broths and spices
• Desserts: thanks to its creamy texture, it is also used for preparing risottos and puddings. Its ability to absorb liquid makes it perfect for sweet desserts like Italian rice pudding
