Alessi Arborio Rice is perfect for Risotto. Italy is Europe's largest producer of rice. The wetlands and cool temperatures of the Lombardia region harbor ideal conditions for growing this special rice. Arborio's characteristics and cooking properties allow it to absorb the flavors and to retain a certain firmness through the unique risotto cooking procedure. Alessi Arborio Rice can be used for all Italian risottos and also for Spanish Paella.
