The perfect risotto is less about following a recipe and more about mastering a few essential techniques. 🇮🇹
This illustrated guide comes from Gli Aironi, an Italian rice producer whose products we have proudly carried at Olio&Olive.
A few fundamentals to remember:
🍚 Toast the rice before adding liquid
🥄 Add hot broth gradually
🔥 Maintain a gentle simmer
⏱️ Cook until al dente
🧈 Finish with butter and cheese for the final mantecatura
🍽️ Serve immediately—risotto waits for no one!
Gli Aironi rice is temporarily out of stock, but we hope to have it back in our selection soon. In the meantime, save this guide for your next risotto night.
What is your favorite risotto—Milanese, mushroom, seafood, or something else?
