Risotto

Two things make Italian risotto extraordinary. First is the unique type of rice used--the long-grained arborio rice, which is only grown in Italy. Second is the cooking technique of adding small amounts of simmering liquid, stirring after each addition until all of it is absorbed, and continuing until all liquid is added. It is this ability to absorb liquid that makes Italian arborio rice unique and risotto dishes so flavorful and creamy.

Besides being delicious and diverse, rice is naturally low in fat and rich in complex carbohydrates. It possesses a remarkable rich balance of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and fiber. Enjoy this world-class Italian product often, and buon appetito!
