• What is Arborio? This rice is prized for its use in traditional risottos and paella recipes. As the rice is
cooked and stirred, a creamy sauce forms around large, al dente grains, carrying and amplifying any flavor
profile. This rice is recommended for use in risotto or paella recipes.
• What is Risotto? Risotto is actually an Italian cooking technique used for a native Italian rice, Arborio.
This old world method involves stirring hot liquid little by little into the rice for about 20 minutes, which will
create a dish unlike any other rice recipe you have tried. Risotto is prepared this way and served immediately
to preserve the unique, gourmet texture of a very creamy sauce around al dente, pasta-like rice kernels.
• Never rinse this rice before cooking!
• While you may add the stock all at once and cook this rice as you would other rices, it will not have the
smooth, creamy texture of risotto.
