Arborio is the most classic risotto rice, and ours grows from certified seeds sown only in the 350 hectares around our farm. It is a large, round grain, rich in starch. As it cooks it releases all of that starch and gives the risotto a full, enveloping creaminess. This is the rice for anyone who loves a soft, well-stirred risotto, the kind that spreads across the plate.
Toast it dry or with a little butter, deglaze with wine, then add the hot broth one ladle at a time, stirring often to release the starch. It cooks in 16 to 18 minutes and stays creamy. At the end, off the heat, finish with the mantecatura (the off-heat creamy stir of butter and cheese), cover, and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Yield: about 80 grams per person, 500 grams for 4 to 5 risottos.
- Pairs with: saffron, asparagus, radicchio, seafood, and it is also excellent for supplì (fried rice croquettes), arancini (stuffed rice balls), and rice puddings.

Questions about our rice
Arborio cooks in about 16 to 18 minutes. Toast it first, deglaze with wine, then add the hot broth one ladle at a time, stirring often. At the end, off the heat, finish with butter and cheese and let it rest for a couple of minutes, so it stays creamy.
For a risotto, allow about 80 grams per person. A 500 gram pack is enough for 4 to 5 risottos. If you serve it as a main course, you can be a little more generous with the amounts.
It means we control every step within the 350 hectares around our farm in Lumellogno: we choose the seeds, cultivate, harvest, mill and pack, all of it ourselves. No one in between. It is the rice we eat ourselves.
Rice is naturally free from gluten, as all rice is, and our Arborio is no exception. For specific dietary needs we always suggest reading the pack label.
