Round Grain Rice

Round Grain Rice

The most important round grain rice types are Arborio (length 6,2-7,2 mm) and Generico (length < 5,2mm).

The Arborio grain has a chalky and an opaque appearance.
The large oval to round grain absorbs all aromas during cooking and transforms in a delicious soft texture.
