The story

About the dish

Risotto con Carciofi e Taleggio draws its character from baby artichokes, Carnaroli rice, and taleggio. Slow cooking gives it time to soften, concentrate, and gather savory depth. The profile moves from a fresh vegetal edge with pleasant bitterness in baby artichokes, through a mellow grain character that carries the surrounding flavors in Carnaroli rice, to a savory, gently tangy cheese note in taleggio.

The grain at the center of the dish belongs to a broad northern Italian tradition shaped by rice fields, polenta, dairy and the cooler landscape beyond the peninsula’s pasta belt.
