Frequently asked questions

Is Arborio the same as Carnaroli?

Both are Italian risotto rices. Arborio has larger, softer grains and gives a very creamy risotto, while Carnaroli keeps a firmer bite.

Do I need to rinse it before cooking a risotto?

No. For risotto, the surface starch is what makes it creamy, so Italian risotto rice is not rinsed.

How much curtiriso arborio rice per person?

As a guide, allow about 70-90 g of uncooked rice per person for a risotto main course.

Which Italian rice is best for risotto?

Carnaroli and Arborio are the classic choices. Carnaroli stays firmer and is often preferred by chefs, while Arborio gives a softer, creamier result.
