Characteristics
Arborio is a white, small grain rice grown in the Piedmont and Lombardy regions of northern Italy. Arborio has a pearly, round, plump grain, which is the basis for risotto. Like Carnaroli, it is a rice ideal for risotto, characterized by high absorption and a firm but "sticky" texture. These characteristics are ideal for making a moist, slightly sticky risotto, in which the grains retain their specific identity.
