Our Organic Arborio Rice, is from the picturesque landscapes of Italy, embodying the rich traditions of Italian cuisine. Cultivated with precision, our Arborio Rice thrives in the sun-soaked fields of Italy, absorbing the warmth and character of the Mediterranean climate. Sown directly in the field, the rice seeds sprout and mature into sturdy plants, fostering the creamy texture that defines Arborio Rice.

Harvesting occurs during late summer or early autumn, when the plants have reached full maturity, and the rice grains have attained their optimal size. The plump grains are carefully harvested and left to dry, a natural process that enhances their unique characteristics before further processing. Arborio Rice is revered in Italian traditions for its ability to create creamy risottos and delectable rice-based dishes. From the iconic risotto to the comforting rice pudding, Arborio Rice plays a pivotal role in both sweet and savoury Italian creations. Its delightful nuttiness and creamy texture make it a versatile ingredient, showcasing the significance of Arborio Rice in the heart of Italian kitchens. Our Organic Arborio Rice, with its journey from the fields of Italy to your kitchen, invites you to explore the time-honoured flavours of Italian cuisine, creating moments that celebrate tradition and simplicity.

The organic nature of means that it is grown and harvested without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, preserving its natural composition.

We believe in mindful consumption and want to share some insights on best before dates, especially when it comes to our dried foods. Best before dates indicate peak freshness and quality, not safety. Dried foods, such as grains and legumes, can often be safe and nutritious beyond their best before dates. They may lose a bit of their peak quality, but they remain a valuable and sustainable food source.

We encourage you to trust your senses. If stored properly and free from moisture, dried foods can maintain their safety and flavour for an extended period beyond the best before date. Embrace a less wasteful approach by exploring and using these ingredients even if they've passed their best before dates. Together, let's reduce food waste and maximise the full potential of every pantry staple.

Explore Waste Savers, where you'll find items approaching or past their best before date at reduced prices. Embrace conscious consumption, reduce food waste, and give these products a second chance. Your purchase not only saves you money but also contributes to a more sustainable and mindful approach to nourishment.

You’ll receive your Organic Arborio Rice in a compostable kraft bag (unless you chose to get a compostable resealable pouch instead). These will be fine stored in the kraft bag for an extended time although, we recommend decanting and storing them in an airtight container to maintain optimum quality. Once decanted, you can save multiple bags and return them to us for a reward.
