Gli Aironi, Truffle Risotto (EATALY collection)

The Truffle Risotto from Gli Aironi combines the delicateness of the best carnaroli rice with the unmistakable touch of flavour from the exquisite truffle. Furthermore, it is not precooked, but only moistened with vegetable broth. Then, it is freeze-dried and then flavoured with the best truffles…and is then ready in only a few minutes! Finally, thanks to the careful selection by Eataly, it is possible to enjoy a high quality meal whenever you want!

Manufacture History: The experience gained in five generations of rice growing has produced its best results in the “Grange” district of Vercello, where the Perinotti family has dedicated its existence to improving crop conditions on the Tenuta Pracantone farm. Until a few years ago Italian rice farming was based on high volume production and the indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which clearly impacted negatively on grain quality and threatened the very survival of the animal species supporting the paddy field ecosystem. Only after the adoption of more gentle farming techniques did the grey herons – once risking extinction – begin to repopulate the rice fields. This are the majestic birds that Michele Perinotti chose as the emblem of Risi&co, which prizes itself on its “eco-compatible production model” based on the EU agri-environment regulation.
