Is arborio rice the same thing as risotto?

Yes, the original recipe for risotto requires a special type of rice called Arborio, but you can use other types of rice if you do not already have it, or an Italian rice variety. Although they’re not the same type, they are quite similar to each other. They both have a high amount of starch that allows them to be sticky and creamy.

Why do i only use carnaroli rice to make risotto?

Risotto is a classic comfort food and so easy to make. Carnaroli rice is ideal for a risotto - the long, plump grains can absorb lots of liquid and flavour while still staying al dente, so you get a brilliant contrast of creamy and firm textures in this lovely dish.
