Risotto rice is a short-grain rice used to make the traditional Italian dish of risotto. It has a higher starch content than other types of rice, which makes it stickier and more creamy when cooked. It’s easy to use, but knowing which type of risotto rice to choose for your dish can help you make the best risotto possible every time.
The three most common types of risotto rice are Carnaroli, Vialone and Arborio.
Aquerello aged risotto rice is the best risotto rice you can buy.
The ageing process makes the gains less water-soluble, meaning they absorb more liquid without breaking down, so you never get a ‘mushy’ risotto.
Making the perfect risotto is all about timing. The rice needs to be cooked just right so that it absorbs the liquid evenly and doesn't turn into mush. Follow some of our favourite recipes to achieve the perfect silky smooth risotto texture
