Riso Arborio is a well-known product: it is in fact appreciated for his characteristics as it boasts high performance when is being cooked. During the preparation, in fact, grains cook perfect and evenly yet keep the nutrient rich core, “al dente”.
The stone whitening technique allows us to maintain the germ into its original location, which means keeping the nutritional and organoleptic values.
We select exclusively 100% Arborio grains like for all other varieties we trade.
Arborio is more difficult to cultivate as it is more sensitive to climate changes which leads to production drop.
