Riso Scotti Arborio Rice for Risotto, 11 lb (5 x 1 kg) — Large-Grain Italian Arborio for Creamy, Starchy Texture

Riso Scotti Arborio Rice is a premium Italian short-grain rice crafted for creamy, restaurant-quality risotto at home.

Grown and milled in Italy by the Scotti family, this 11 lb pack (five 1 kg bags) delivers consistently large-grain Arborio rice designed to yield a rich, starchy texture essential for classic risotto and other Italian rice dishes. Each bag contains plump kernels that release starch slowly, helping you achieve a velvety finish while keeping a pleasant bite. The pack size is ideal for families, meal prep, or small food businesses that want authentic results without frequent restocking.

How does this Arborio rice create a creamy risotto without becoming mushy?

Arborio rice has a high amylopectin (starch) content in its core; when gently simmered and stirred, it releases starch that thickens the cooking liquid into a creamy sauce while the grains stay intact. Proper technique—gradual ladling of stock and moderate stirring—lets you control the final texture from al dente to extra-creamy.

• Large, short-grain kernels that retain shape while releasing starch.
• Designed for gradual starch release for smooth, silky sauce.
• Works with the classic risotto method: sauté, add warm stock, stir.
• Five 1 kg bags for consistent quality across multiple meals.

What recipes and uses suit Riso Scotti Arborio best?

While risotto is the signature application, Arborio can shine in many dishes that benefit from its creamy, toothsome texture. Use it for seafood risottos, mushroom variants, vegetable-forward bowls, rice puddings, or even crisped rice cakes.

• Risotto al Funghi, Risotto Primavera, and seafood risottos.
• Comfort desserts like rice pudding that require thickening rice.
• Fried rice cakes or arancini using cooled, seasoned risotto.
• Batch cooking for meal prep — holds structure after reheating.

How much rice does this 11 lb pack yield and how should I store it?

Five kilograms (11 lb) produces many servings: approximately 55–70 risotto portions when using a typical 80–100 g (uncooked) portion per person. Store unopened bags in a cool, dry pantry; once opened, reseal or transfer to airtight containers to protect against moisture and pests.

• Approx. 80–100 g uncooked rice per risotto serving.
• Airtight jar or sealed bag preserves freshness after opening.
• Keep away from heat, sunlight, and humidity for best shelf life.
