Rice |
1 kg (2.2 lb) Risotto Rice Vialone Nano Veronese I.G.T. by Riso Melotti Vialone Nano is the preferred rice for making risotto in the Veneto because it produces a super creamy risotto all’onda (with a wave), meaning quite loose. It is the perfect rice for this recipe. |
Diced Pancetta |
1 lb Bag of Diced Pancetta from Terra di Siena Made from the belly of the pig, pancetta is among the most delicious of Terra di Siena's offerings. Here it is mixed with Guanciale to provide an exciting ingredient in the preparation of true Italian sauces or fried and added to authentic Tuscan dishes, as it is here. Pancetta and Guanciale are made in a very similar manner, just using different parts of the pig. You can easily freeze the bag and just take out what you need for your recipe. |
Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese |
2 lb chunk authentic D.O.P. Parmigiano-Reggiano from Latteria Soresina These chunks are cut from whole aged wheels in the Soresina plant in Italy where they are shrink-wrapped and labeled. The recipe calls for grated Parmigiano. We have chosen to give you the whole piece of cheese for you to grate à la minute to retain ultimate flavor. |
Thyme |
25 gr Organic Wild Thyme in the Branch from Gangi Danti in Sicily This is hands-down the most fragrant thyme you can find. Salvatica (Wild), thyme for central Sicily. Just hold the bunch over your dish and give it a few squeezes to release the dried leaves. |
Extra Virgin Olive Oil |
.75 lt Bottle of Calvi Mosto Oro Ligurian Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Monocultivar Taggiasca This oil was especially chosen for this risotto because of its very fragrant and delicate flavor. It is an extraordinary oil of the highest quality and it will elevate this dish or any other you use it on. |
