Arborio oltresole rice is an Italian artisanal product traditionally cultivated in the rice fields of the lower Ferrara area. Arborio oltresole rice is a superfine rice with a starchy core that remains perfectly al dente while the surface tends to crumble; it also has a good capacity to absorb liquid and seasoning. These characteristics make it ideal for preparing and creaming risottos and generally suitable for dry rice or rice salads. However, care must be taken not to shake it because among the superfines it is the one with the lowest cooking strength and the transition from raw to overcooked takes place particularly quickly. The advice therefore is to always leave it slightly al dente. Nutritionally speaking, Arborio rice is low in fat and rich in minerals. In addition, arborio is a good source of vitamin B, has easily digestible sugars and is naturally devoid of vitamins.
