Arborio rice is a short- to medium-grain Italian white rice with plump, chalky kernels. High amylopectin releases starch with gentle stirring to create a creamy, glossy sauce while the core stays slightly al dente; ideal for risotto, arancini, and rice pudding. Sold polished, often graded as superfino, and performs best with gradual stock additions.
