The perfect way to settle once and for all which risotto rice variety you like best (or a great gift for your favorite risotto fan), this sampler contains one package each of:

Organic Arborio Rice
Carnaroli Rice
Vialone Nano Rice
Organic Integrale Rice

Check out our Guide to Risotto Rice to learn about the differences between these varieties.

All grown in Italy, this rice is top quality, consisting of carefully selected whole (unchipped) grains of rice. The brilliant white color of the carnaroli, vialone nano, and Arborio varieties is the result of being expertly polished (pearled) rather than any sort of chemical bleaching. This process also leaves more of the grains’ natural starch content intact for an even creamier risotto.  Integrale rice is an unusual variety of whole grain/unpearled risotto rice offering more nutrients, fiber, and different flavor and texture.

The Arborio and Integrale varieties carry the USDA Organic seal, and have been certified organic by BioAgriCert S.r.l. in Europe.

Storage: Store Italian risotto rice in a cool, dry place in a sealed container.

Shelf Life: Though it will last far longer, you’ll enjoy each rice variety at its absolute best by consuming it within a month of opening its package.

Classic risotto pairings include fine seafood, parmigiano reggiano cheese, fresh truffles and truffle oil.  Try using the risotto method with other liquids (often milk) sugar and dessert flavors (like vanilla beans) to turn risotto rice into fabulous rice pudding!

Integrale rice can be used similarly to the more traditional varieties in delicious brown rice risotto.
