Hinder Arborio Rice, a pearly-looking, round, fat, Italian white rice, forms the foundation of risotto, the dish. Riso means rice in Italian.

Like other rices, Arborio is a member of the grass family. What distinguishes it is a higher than normal amount of soluble starch that is released during cooking.

The starch is what makes a risotto creamy.

Arborio rice takes about eighteen minutes to cook. It is done when it is al dente, tender on the outside and firm in the center.
