How to cook for best results

For a classic risotto, start with a light soffritto, toast the grains briefly to awaken their aroma, then add warm stock gradually as the rice absorbs liquid. Stir steadily and finish with cheese or a touch of citrus for brightness.

• Toast the grains until the edges turn translucent and a subtle nutty scent develops, helping release starch for creaminess.
• Maintain a gentle simmer with steady stirring and incremental stock additions to build a creamy, al dente texture.
