    Maize (Corn) Orzo is rice-shaped pasta made from durum wheat flour that is naturally colored a pale yellow with corn flour. Infused with the flavor and color of the porcini mushroom, this pasta boasts an earthy flavor and appearance. The naturally firm texture and unique color make it a flexible and versatile ingredient that is resilient to long cooking times and easily incorporated with other ingredients.

    Originating in Italy, orzo was created to provide an alternative to rice while still boasting the appealing pasta flavor and texture already prevalent in Mediterranean diets. The word “orzo” means “barley” in Italian, most likely referring to the pasta’s grainlike shape.
