It is named after the town of Arborio, in the Po Valley, which is situated in the region of Piedmont in Italy.  This short grained rice is used primarily for Risotto. The rice is worked on stone and polished with water. Sophisticated optical sorters ensure the quality. Aborio is high in fibre, protein and complex carbohydrates keeping you fuller for longer and assisting in digestive health. It also absorbs a lot of flavour when cooking so add in a variety of herbs and spices for additional taste and nutrient benefits! Cooks best on a low heat and slowly. Arborio rice is generally well-tolerated by people with sensitive digestive systems. It is easily digestible and does not cause excessive gas or bloating.
