Riso Bello Arborio Risotto Rice, 17.5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6)

I searched for and ordered this rice after I received carnaroli rice in a Blue Apron meal. The risotto (from recipe Risotto with Goat Cheese and Brussels Sprouts) was amazing and it’s the first Blue Apron recipe that I have ever “jumped through hoops” tonakw again and source a special ingredient. Of the options at Amazon, I thought this package of six boxes was the best value (since I could eat this stuff several times a week). You can buy this quantity with confidence as the rice is vacuum packed in a bag inside the box, and “best by” date stamped on it is 3/28/22.

Although I don't think this is quite as flavorful as other brands I have tried, it makes a good risotto and when purchased in bulk, the price is reasonable.

Prefer to Arborio- longer sweet spot between bad aldente and perfect al dente- subtle difference but see why top chefs use this vs Arborio-

The real deal for risotto. And you can believe me, I’m a born and raised italian chef ;)

For Risotto? Perfecto! Nutty, flavorful and substantial in the mouth. This is a rice made for versatile cooking with spices and herbs. You won't walk away from a helping of this rice hungry, that's for sure. For dishes requiring a more delicate rice that doesn't dominate with taste, heft and appearance, there are a million alternatives. For Risotto... its a rock star.

Great to have extra Arborio rice in hand. Packaged nicely. Great product

Good

In Italy I always buy the Gallo rice that I really appreciate, I believe that rice Bello is the same and therefore when they are in the United States will always buy it and for me it is very good.
