Rice and Saffron – Mix for Risotto

This ready-to-cook risotto mix contains all the ingredients you need in one convenient jar - including Vialone Nano rice along with dried pure saffron stigmas. The Vialone Nano variety is perfect for preparing creamy risottos as it releases an abundant amount of starch during cooking and absorbs the ingredient flavour. The saffron stigmas have been dried at a specific controlled temperature and have not been toasted for preserving its unique flavour.

No added salt, no preservatives, no artificial colours and flavours.

  Cooking time: 12 - 13 minutes

Preparation of the Saffron: put the stigmas in a small cup with a few spoonfuls of hot broth or hot water. Cover it and let them infuse for at least 2 hours. Add the infused saffron to the risotto after turning off the heat.

Method: bring 800 ml of salted water or vegetable broth to a boil in a pot. Add the rice to the boiling liquid. Stir it and cover the pot. Cook for 12 minutes and then turn off the heat. Add the infused saffron stirring in some butter and Grana Padano cheese to taste. The risotto is ready to be served.
