Italy is Europe's largest producer of rice. The wetlands and cool temperatures of the Lombardia region harbor ideal conditions for growing the special rice. Over the centuries, resourceful Italians developed a unique cooking technique combining rice with other ingredients common to their area, resulting in the classical Italian dish known as "risotto".

Rich, creamy risotto is one of Northern Italy's gastronomic delights. The key ingredient in authentic risotto is the short, thick grained rice known as Arborio. This rice is the perfect grain for risotto because its texture and cooking properties allow it to retain firmness throughout preparation. Risotto should always be prepared al dente which means tender yet firm to the bite. 

Alessi Risotto con Zucca Violina (butternut squash) is a savory, delectable comfort food. The naturally sweet, violin shaped butternut squash pairs well with the texture and the taste of al dente Arborio rice. The unique blend of flavors result in creamy deliciousness. This dish is a wonderful accompaniment to most grilled meats, duck and shrimp. Try our other authentic risottos and Buon Appetito!
