Arborio Rice by Riseria Merlano (2.2 pound)

Description

Arborio Rice has a larger grain and higher amount of starch than the other Italian short grain rice types. That starchiness makes Arborio one of the most suitable types of rice for cooking risotto and arancini. Merlano grows its Arborio on dedicated pastures in the Piedmont region of Italy.The Merlano family has grown, processed and packaged exceptional rice for over 50 years. Unlike other growers, Merlano processes and packages their own rice in their own plant. To ensure top quality production, Merlano grows its rice in distinctive northern Italian clay soil, enriched by pristine mountain water and organic fertilizers. Marrying traditional methods, such as stone husking, with advanced methods that transform raw grain into ready to be eaten rice, further enhances the uniquely delicious characteristics of Merlano rice. Their rice is not only perfect for making risotto but for any recipe which requires a first class ingredient.
