Romariso Arborio [ar-BOH-ree-oh] is named after a town in the Piedmont and Lombardy regions of northwest Italy. A short grain Italian white rice, Arborio is popular in risotto and other Italian rice dishes. Arborio's short, plump grains contain more starch than most other rice varieties, which makes it ideal for starchy rice dishes like risotto. It is also well suited for rice dishes where the rice must retain a shape, like sushi. It's pearly appearance and short, fat grains are expected to be served slightly al dente, still firm inside. It can be ground into a flour and added to dishes that require a creamy consistency.
