Riso Principe
Translated as ‘Royal Rice’, as it is the “Top of the Crop” in grains, this rice is produced in the Po Valley in Northern Italy.
Arborio rice is distinctive for its starchy surface with the capacity to absorb large amounts of liquid stock, whilst still being able to maintain its composure and not break down.
An internationally popular product, rice is low in fat and high in nutritional ingredients and is eaten by more than half of the global population.
Available in two varieties – Arborio and Carnaroli, Arborio being a smaller grain and Carnaroli being a larger fatter grain.
Carnaroli rice is ideal for those with a passion for rice. With its smooth and creamy consistency, it is undoubtedly perfect for your favourite Risotto.
Try these very simple and versatile combination:
Risotto with Radicchio, beetroot and balsamic vinegar
Risotto with two cheeses and green olive pate
Risotto with tuna and baby peas
