Risotto's history traces back to the introduction of rice to Italy, likely through Arab traders in the Middle Ages. Initially, rice was primarily used in Sicily and Southern Italy. However, the fertile plains of Northern Italy, particularly in the Po Valley, proved ideal for rice cultivation. Over time, different regional variations of risotto emerged, with saffron risotto (risotto alla Milanese) being one of the most famous. The incorporation of mushrooms, including prized porcini, and truffles evolved as a celebration of the region's natural bounty and culinary sophistication.

Earthy, savory, and aromatic, this risotto is an umami bomb showcasing the rich flavors of porcini mushrooms and the intoxicating aroma of truffle.
The dominant flavor is undeniably earthy, stemming from the umami-rich porcini mushrooms. Their flavor is deep, woody, and slightly nutty. The truffle adds an intense, pungent aroma that elevates the dish to another level, imparting musky and slightly garlicky notes. The Parmesan cheese contributes a salty, savory, and slightly tangy element, while the butter and stock provide richness and depth. White wine lends a subtle acidity that balances the richness. Arborio rice provides a creamy texture and absorbs the flavors beautifully.
Funzionalità Premium
Rice Selection
Use a short-grain rice variety specifically designed for risotto, such as Arborio, Carnaroli, or Vialone Nano. These varieties have a high starch content, which is crucial for achieving the creamy texture.
Stock Quality
Use a high-quality, homemade or low-sodium chicken or vegetable stock. The stock provides a significant amount of flavor, so use the best you can find. Keep the stock warm while you cook the risotto.
Constant Stirring
Stir the risotto almost constantly while adding the stock. This helps release the starch from the rice grains, creating the creamy texture. Be gentle but persistent.
Adding the Truffle
If using fresh truffles, shave them over the risotto right before serving. The heat will release their aroma. Truffle oil can be used sparingly as a substitute, but fresh truffles are superior.
Manteca
The 'manteca' is the final step. Remove the risotto from the heat, then vigorously stir in cold butter and grated Parmesan cheese to create a creamy, emulsified sauce. This step is crucial for achieving the desired texture.
