This rice varietal is the most well known and most popular of Italian rice. The appearance is burnished kernels of uniform opaque creamy color with a solid white center. Arborio has a high starch content that is released slowly in the cooking process, creating a lush blanket of creamy sauce that coats each kernel. Commonly used in classic dishes such as Risotto alla Milanese or Risotto with beets and Gorgonzola.
