The story

About the dish

The central flavors in Risotto al Tartufo Nero e Taleggio come from Carnaroli rice, black truffle, and taleggio. Slow cooking gives it time to soften, concentrate, and gather savory depth. In the dish, Carnaroli rice sets a mellow grain character that carries the surrounding flavors against a woodland perfume and earthy depth from black truffle and a savory, gently tangy cheese note from taleggio.

It is a reminder that northern Italy’s grain traditions extend well beyond pasta: rice and polenta are central to the cooking of the plains and Alpine foothills.
