Fontana FORMIELLO Carnaroli risotto rice is grown in the Piedmont region in Northern Italy.
PREPARATION

Melt a knob of butter in a pan and pour the risotto rice in. Stir the rice continuously until it becomes translucent. Add the hot stock or hot water, one ladle at a time, stirring in between each addition until absorbed. Stir the risotto regularly to prevent it from sticking and to help it cook evenly. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Add another knob of butter, blend Parmigiano Reggiano cheese in, take off the heat, cover, and let it set for 2 minutes.
 
COOKING TIPS

  • Cook the rice slowly by letting it gradually absorb stock that is added little by little until the rice is cooked.
  • Stir risotto continuously to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Keep the stock on the hob at boiling point, so that the rice does not stop cooking when the stock is added.
  • Risotto is ready when al dente, or when it is tender on the outside but it has a firm bite in the centre.
  • Take the rice off the heat just before you think it is ready because it will continue to cook in its own heat.
  • Rest the rice for 1 minute off the heat before adding a knob of cold butter or Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.

 
COOKING IDEAS      
For an indulgent finish, add a light drizzle of truffle oil just before serving to enhance the risotto’s rich, aromatic character.

SUSTAINABILITY
We are committed to minimising the amount of packaging used for our products, and are constantly exploring sustainable options, with zero plastic our ultimate goal. We measure the impact of our packaging using the three criteria below:
Packaging to Product Weight Ratio 18.6%
Recyclable Content 100%
Plastic Content 10.9%
Our Risotto Rice with Black Truffle is packed in a protective atmosphere using natural carbon dioxide, which helps preserve the rice and ingredients and maintain their natural flavours without adding preservatives. This packaging keeps the rice and vegetables loose and well separated, allowing them to be used at their best quality. While we aim to minimise the use of plastic, this solution ensures a longer shelf life and helps reduce food waste.
