Made with Italian Arborio rice. Italy is Europe's largest producer of rice. The wetlands and cool temperatures of the Lombardi region harbor the ideal conditions for lush rice fields. Resourceful Italians combined rice with the many other items common to their area and developed a dish they lay claim to. It is known as risotto. Rich, creamy risotto is one of Northern Italy's gastronomic delights. The key ingredient in authentic risotto is the short, thick grained rice known as Arborio. This rice is the perfect grain for risotto because its texture and cooking properties allow it to retain firmness throughout preparation. Risotto should always be prepared al dente which means tender yet firm to the bite. Alessi Risotto con Funghi Porcini offers a most unique blend of flavor. Funghi Porcini are a particular type of mushroom found throughout the woodlands of Italy beneath pine trees. They are known for their woodsy, aromatic scent and are a wonderful addition to this Italian favorite. This dish is a wonderful accompaniment to most grilled meats, especially lamb. | | | Features: | |

Pretty darn goodAug 22, 2009
By Domestic Gnome
An Italian acquaintance (from Milan) swears by this stuff. Dead simple to make and pretty close to the "real" thing. Heresy to serious cooks, but when the clock is running and two adolescent boys are HUNGRY. 'Nuff said. Clearly, the additional ingredients - preservatives, et al. - give one pause - and should - but all in, it's probably not what is going to kill you or me. Good stuff from a package.

 Perfect for those nights when you want to be lazySep 15, 2010

Perfect for those lazy nights. My boyfriend, who is Italian and likes authentic Italian food (the food snob), really loves this. And honestly, it's so hard to mess the dish up. I've put more water than necessary, left it on for longer than necessary, and both times it was absolutely perfect.

 Not my favoriteOct 31, 2010
By Sheila E. McDonald
I read an article rating this the best instant Risotto, but I actually prefer the flavor of the plain saffron one.

Alessi RiceDec 30, 2010
By Barbara J. Wilson

This rice is very hard to find in stores. I was delighted to see just how easy it was
to order on Amazon. I don't have to go searching in stores and making calls to see who
might carry this wonderful product. It arrived 2 days after ordering it.
Thank you Amazon!!!!!
