Arborio
The foundation of a perfectly cooked, creamy risotto, Village Harvest’s Arborio rice will make you as passionate about your food as a traditional Italian. Harvested in Northern Italy where the climate is cool and the soil is marshy, this “superfine” grade Arborio rice is simply the best available. True to its native roots in the Po River Valley, this relatively short, plump, pearl-like grain absorbs lots of liquid while slowly and evenly releasing its inherent starch. The result is a warm comforting, lightly textured dish, far superior to risotto made with domestic equivalents.
