About Ariancini

Arancini are a delicious Italian snack originating from Sicily, known for their golden, crispy exterior and creamy, flavorful filling. These deep-fried rice balls are traditionally made with arborio rice, a staple in risotto, which is mixed with ingredients like Parmesan cheese and often stuffed with savory fillings such as meat ragù, mozzarella, or peas. Arancini are rolled in breadcrumbs before frying to achieve their signature crunch. While they offer a good source of carbohydrates and some protein from the cheese and filling, their nutritional profile largely depends on the preparation method. Deep-frying adds saturated fats, making them a less healthy option when consumed in large quantities. However, baked versions are gaining popularity as a lighter alternative. As a treat, arancini are a perfect indulgence when enjoyed in moderation, celebrating the rich flavors and culinary traditions of Italian cuisine.
