Arborio 500g

Arborio is a superior quality rice named after the town in the Vercelli region where it was developed. It is derived from the Vialone. The large size of the grain (the largest of any Italian rice) means the starch-rich core is protected against the heat and guarantees the rice is cooked al dente, every time.

Lucedio Abbey was founded in 1123 by Cistercian monks from Burgundy who reclaimed the territory and were the first to introduce rice culture in Italy in the 15th century. With nearly 900 years of history, the Principato di Lucedio farm extends over an area of more than 500 hectares in the heart of a regional park.
