What types of Risotto Rice To Use

This is a debate which goes on and on.  There are people that use long grain rice and other types of rice.  There is nothing wrong with using non-standard risotto rices if those are the rices that you usually eat or prefer.  However for me, in order to make a good quality tasting risotto then use a standard risotto rice.  

Arborio Rice

This rice is my preference simply because it is of equal quality to carnaroli rice but much easier to find in the shops, stores and supermarkets.  The recipe that I have featured shows arborio rice in the recipe.

Carnaroli Rice

This rice tends be used a lot in Milan where it is easier to find.  Where I live, carnaroli is harder to locate in supermarkets and it definitely costs more than arborio.  Don't debate to much over which rice to use but I urge you to use standard risotto rice if you can get hold of it easily.
