Boston, MA – March 1, 2011 – Maristella’s Fine Foods announced today they will be introducing their “FIRST OF A KIND” line of Authentic Sicilian Arborio Rice Arancini at the 2011 International Boston Seafood Show. The new line, inspired by an old family recipe, is made with authentic Italian Arborio Rice harvested from the Po Valley in Northern Italy. This traditional Sicilian treat is made with a three cheese blend of Pecorino Romano, Parmesan and Mozzarella, peas, all natural herbs and the finest of seafood.

The new line is available in five exciting seafood varieties: Wild Caught Blue Crab with Gorgonzola Cheese and Applewood Smoked Bacon, Wild Alaskan Smoked Salmon with White Wine and Capers, Wild Caught Scallops with Applewood Smoked Bacon, Wild Caught North Atlantic Lobster with Sherry Cream Sauce and Wild Caught Shrimp with All Natural Pesto.
