Quality & Sourcing

Tenuta Margherita Riso Arborio is cultivated in the fertile rice fields of northern Italy, where the unique climate and rich soil create the perfect conditions for growing high-quality rice. The grains are carefully harvested and undergo a meticulous milling process that preserves their natural starch content while ensuring uniformity in size and texture. Tenuta Margherita employs traditional stone-milling techniques combined with modern quality controls, ensuring that each grain maintains its integrity, flavor, and ability to absorb liquids while retaining a firm bite.

Versatility

Tenuta Margherita Riso Arborio is an exceptionally versatile rice variety, best known for its ability to create a rich, creamy consistency without becoming mushy. Its high starch content makes it perfect for classic risottos, such as Risotto alla Milanese, Risotto ai Funghi, or Seafood Risotto. Beyond risotto, Arborio rice can also be used in rice puddings, soups, and stuffed vegetables, where its ability to absorb flavors enhances the overall dish. It can also be prepared as a simple side dish, cooked with broth, butter, and Parmesan for a comforting and satisfying meal.
