Description

Seggiano’s Arborio Rice is cultivated by three long established Vercelli rice producing families in the most traditional ways. Straight from the Grange Vercelli rice lands of the fertile Po valley, whose waters are fed from the Alps of northern Italy, this variety of risotto rice is large-grained and the most popular around the globe.

Thanks to the gentle dehusking of the rice, the nutrients of the outer layer and germ are retained; this method is critical to the final great taste and texture of the cooked rice. Once dehusked, the grains are graded according to colour, quality and size, with only the best being good enough for Seggiano, of course!

We love using this arborio rice in a creamy risotto dish with plenty of mushrooms – the organic qualities really do shine through!

Recommended Uses

Seggiano’s Arborio Risotto Rice is best when gently cooked on a low heat in a large flat-bottomed pan, ensuring all grains are coated in oil. Lightly toast the rice for a few minutes, and stir as the grains become slightly transparent. Gradually add between 700ml and 1000ml of hot liquid stock and simmer gently, stirring occasionally until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.

Lastly, remove the pan from the heat, add a knob of vegan butter and stir in a finely grated vegan parmesan cheese alternative. Cover and leave for a few minutes before serving – this is the moment of mantecatura, when the risotto develops its flavour and classic creamy texture!

Of course, why not try adding different veggies in each time? We love asparagus and mushrooms, and a grilled butternut squash variety is tasty too!
