Arborio Rice is the most known variety of Italian rice used for risotto, especially in the United States, and is named after a small town in Piedmont. It was born in 1946 from a derivation of the Vialone plant. This variety is longer than Carnaroli and has high starch content as well. This allows it to absorb a lot of liquid while maintaining a nice firmness when cooked.\nThe company gli Aironi is located in the middle of the agricultural land surrounding the town of Vercelli, known as the Grange. Gli Aironi means, first and foremost, rice. Perinotti family has been growing rice for five generation. Today their focus is producing rice in an eco-friendly manner, with techniques that rely on traditional wisdom. Gli Aironi brand's name means herons, birds that stand out also in the company logo, formerly in way of extinction and now returned in great numbers in the Grange, confirming the company's attention to environmental sustainability.\nIngredients: Italian Arborio rice.\nDirections: Cooking time between 15 and 20 minutes
