ARBORIO RICE 1 kg

Arborio Oltresole rice is an Italian artisanal product traditionally grown in the rice fields of the lower Ferrara area. Oltresole arborio rice is a superfine rice with a starch-rich core that remains perfectly al dente while the surface tends to flake; it also has a good ability to absorb liquid and seasoning. These characteristics make it ideal for the preparation and creaming of risottos and in general suitable for dry rice or rice salads. However, we must be careful not to overcook it because among the superfines it is the one with the lowest cooking resistance and the transition from raw to overcooked occurs particularly quickly. The advice therefore is to always leave it slightly al dente. Nutritionally speaking, arborio rice is low in fat and rich in mineral salts. Furthermore, arborio is a good source of vitamin B, has easily digestible sugars and is naturally gluten-free. The proteins contained are of high quality superior to those of other cereals, which are characteristic of rice in general and not of a single type.
