Riso di Molinella Arborio Rice is a traditional, short-grain rice. It has higher protein and starch content than other rice, which is why it is famous for use in slow-cooking dishes like risotto, flan and rice pudding.
Riso di Molinella takes its name from the town of Molinella, in the Po Valley of northern Italy. Here, climate conditions combine with unique soil nutrients, a result of 500 years of cultivating Arborio rice. In a similar way that wines have distinct characteristics according to the location of the vineyard, Riso di Moliella Arborio Rice is distinctly delicious.
Riso di Molinella plumps up during cooking, for a sticky and creamy texture that defines the perfect al dente risotto.
Riso de Molinella Arborio Rice is imported from Italy and shipped in a vacuum-pack bag for freshness.
