Italy is Europe's largest producer of rice. The wetlands and cool temperatures of the Lombardia region harbor ideal conditions for growing the special rice. Over the centuries, resourceful Italians developed a unique cooking technique combining rice with other ingredients common to their area, resulting in the classical Italian dish known as "risotto". The key ingredient for authentic risotto is Arborio rice. Arborio's characteristics and cooking properties allow it to absorb the flavors and to retain a certain firmness through the unique "risotto" cooking procedure. The texture and cooking properties of imported Arborio rice combined with flavorful broccoli and cheese result in a perfect "al dente" risotto. Serves well as a complement to most meals, especially chicken or pork.

This is the most convenient but also the most expensive option. UPS will have the package by the date assigned by 10:30am-12pm. 


We ship our next day packages Monday-Wednesday so you will get your fish Tuesday-Friday. Our cutoff time is 12pm ET to get the order in for a next day delivery. If it is after that time it will go out the next day if it is M-W or it will ship out the next Monday.


UPS 2nd DAY AIR A.M. 

-A.M. OPTION (delivery by 12pm)

-AIR OPTION (delivery by end of day)

The UPS 2nd day air or air A.M. option is the most cost effective method, but to keep costs low you must be patient on the day & method that it ships. We package these products with extra insulation but keep in mind the area and time of year you are shipping. The time of year and area you are shipping may impact if the top layer of items are in the beginning stages of thawing. 


For any orders that we receive after our cutoff time (12pmET) on Wednesday, your shipment will leave on a Monday or Tuesday since they are two day deliveries and will need extra time. 


Confused? Just know that we will get it to you as soon as possible to get it to you frozen. That is why we ship early in the week in case of unexpected delays. 


We don’t even bother with weekend deliveries because we never want your package sitting in a warehouse over the weekend.
