DeLallo Arborio Rice is a starchy short-grain rice that is famous for its delightfully creamy texture in the Italian dish risotto. Harvested from the Po River town in Italy where it originated, Arborio rice is a superior grain with a high starch content—the very thing that creates that lovable creaminess. A classic Northern Italian staple, risotto can be as simple or complex as you like it with add-ins such as roasted vegetables, chicken, shrimp, Parmigiano-Reggiano and more.
