Saffron Risotto

Cascina Alberona’s Saffron Risotto is the perfect example of how simplicity and quality can be transformed into a dish of excellence. Prepared with Carnaroli Classico rice and “ISO 2” saffron — one of the finest in terms of intensity of color and aroma — it gives the palate an authentic and harmonious taste. To enhance it at its best, all it takes is a creaming with 24-month Parmigiano Reggiano: the final touch for a creamy, elegant and irresistible risotto.

Ingredients:
Classic Carnaroli Rice (93%), granular vegetable broth (salt, potato starch and maltodextrin, dehydrated vegetables (carrot, celery, parsley), sunflower oil, natural flavors, spices), rice flour, saffron (0.1%).
