Beautiful round pearls to make a great risotto

This Arborio rice cooked up perfect for risotto. It was ready after about 18 minutes of cooking. The rice was light and fluffy, with a minimal amount of chewiness. I added bolognese sauce to it and paired it with a salad and bread for a light meal.

4Sisters - Authentic Italian Arborio Rice - Sustainably Grown - Women Owned - 2lbFirst impressions: Nice bag of good looking rice. The grains look plump and clean. I don’t see any rocks or other debris and there are very few broken pieces. They look fresh. I really like the hook and loop fastener to keep the bag closed, it’s thick and seems to keep the rice from spilling.Installation/setup: Use recipe on the package to make rice per directions.Final thoughts: I used 1 ½ cups of this rice to make mushroom risotto using a recipe I found online for my instant pot. I used dried mushrooms and they were a bit chewy. I would recommend fresh. It turned out well and I’m glad I got this.Ingredients¼ cup unsalted butter¼ cup olive oil3 cups diced mushrooms1 cup chopped onion1 sprig rosemary1 ½ cups Arborio rice¾ cup white wine1 quart chicken stocksalt and ground black pepper to taste½ cup grated Parmesan cheeseStep 1Turn on your Instant Pot and select Saute function.

I'm not that familiar with this type of rice, but if all brands taste as good as this one I won't say no to enjoying it more often! The rice is a bit thicker and just a little softer than say, jasmine rice, but it's still delicious. You can use it for normal rice dishes or for Italian rice dishes. The bag is great - it is resealable and the rice did not taste stale or have any issues with mold.Another thing - this brand is based in the USA and is woman owned. Personally, I like this; I like supporting more local and women owned businesses.Overall, I would highly recommend.

This Arborio rice was so easy to cook compared to other brands I’ve used in the past. There’s usually a lot of stirring and adding broth to cook and get the gluten to develop. The directions say to cook for 20 minutes but I found that it was the perfect tenderness after 15 minutes and the water was pretty much absorbed by then. I then used that cooked rice in the recipe provided on the bag for mushroom risotto which was delicious. I had to make some modifications for what I had on hand. The recipe calls for 2 cups shredded mozzarella but I only had 1 cup so I replaced the other cup with pecorino which really enhanced the flavor. Also, I made it using portobello and morel mushrooms.I was extremely impressed and look forward to making it again.

This is one of the many varieties of rice I have tried from this company. I enjoy this one the most. It allows you to add your own spices and flavoring. It was easy to cook and tasted great.

4Sisters Authentic Italian Arborio Rice is exactly what you need when you are making risotto. It absorbs the flavors well and cooks perfectly. My family love this rice.

It's always exciting to try out new products, and I was eager to try the 4Sisters Authentic Italian Arborio Rice. However, I was a bit disappointed with this rice, and I don't think I'll be purchasing it again. While I'm used to eating long-grain basmati rice, I wanted to branch out and try something new with Italian cuisine.Unfortunately, I didn't taste any unique flavors in the rice, and I found it to be very lumpy and sticky, even though I followed the cooking directions carefully. I'm sure some people might enjoy this rice, but it wasn't to my taste.
