Carnaroli Rice with Summer Black Truffle

Carnaroli Rice with Summer Black Truffle is an artisan product designed for those who want to bring an outstanding risotto to the table without compromising on the quality of the ingredients. Carnaroli — the "king" of Italian rice varieties — has been enriched with dried Summer Black Truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittadini), for a risotto with an unmistakable aroma and perfect texture.

Carnaroli is chosen by the best Italian chefs for how well it holds up during cooking, its high starch content that creates a naturally creamy finish, and its ability to absorb seasonings without losing its texture. Paired with summer truffle, it creates a superior-quality risotto.

How to prepare the risotto:

1. Toast the rice in a pan with butter or oil for 2 minutes
2. Deglaze with dry white wine
3. Add hot vegetable or meat stock a little at a time, stirring
4. At the end of cooking (16-18 min), stir in butter and parmesan
5. Serve with a knob of truffle butter and fresh truffle shavings if available

Wine pairing: excellent with a still Pinot Grigio, a Vermentino, or, for special occasions, a young Barolo.

Ingredients: Carnaroli rice, dried summer truffle (Tuber aestivum Vittadini).
