Organic Arborio Rice – 500 g, Alce Nero, 500 g

The Arborio rice, grown in Piedmont and Lombardy, has large pearly white grains. It is a native Italian variety with long stem and deep root system, drawing nourishment from the richer soil layers, so as to provide higher nutritional quality to the product. When preparing, the heat does not reach the interior of the grains. They must remain slightly al dente.
Every package is supplied with narrating label and identity card that describe the sensory characteristics, farmers, territories of origin and cultivation techniques.

Directions for use:

Since the grains of Arborio rice retain their shape, it is most suitable for making risotto, soups and desserts. Do not rinse the rice before cooking or you will lose some of the starch that defines its creamy cooked texture.

Preparation:

In a heavy saucepan combine 1 cup of rice with 1 1/2 cups (375ml) of water or stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium, stirring constantly until liquid is absorbed. Add an additional 3 cups (750ml) of water a little at a time, cooking and stirring until liquid is absorbed each time. Cooking time is approximately 20 minutes.
