Cultivated in the Piedmont region of Northern Italy, this Riso Toro arborio rice is the traditional gourmet choice for risottos and other Italian dishes. Rounded, short-grained and always al dente even after it’s fully cooked, specialty arborio rice elevates creamy risotto recipes, rice puddings, Italian soups and Sicilian arancini. A legendary brand, family-owned Riso Toro has been growing fine arborio rice in Italy since 1896.
