Arborio is the most popular type of risotto rice, and that’s not just in Italy- its name has become generally synonymous with risotto. It is grown in selected paddy fields in the Northern Italian region of Lombardy. Riso Gallo selects only the best quality rice for production, before each grain is individually dehusked using the traditional stone grinding method.

The high starch content of the Arborio grain and its ability to absorb water ensures that your risotto will be creamy and al dente. Never wash risotto rice before cooking, because that would remove some of the starchiness.

Organic Arborio is new in the European market. The grains originate from organic farms in the Lombardy rice region around Pavia. The grain is processed in a traditional way to preserve its natural properties. The nutritionally aware customer can now buy organic Arborio, certified by the EU organic logo, produced in harmony with nature.

In Italy, risotto is a main course because it is versatile and nutritious. With Riso Gallo Organic Arborio you can create many interesting recipes using seasonal vegetables, fish and meat.
