The story

About the dish

Carnaroli rice, zucchini, mussels, and saffron form the flavor foundation of Risotto con Cozze, Zucchine e Zafferano. Slow cooking gives it time to soften, concentrate, and gather savory depth. In the dish, Carnaroli rice supplies a mellow grain character that carries the surrounding flavors, while zucchini adds a clear, distinctive flavor of its own and mussels add sweet brininess and maritime savor.

Through the dish, the Italian table turns toward its northern grain country, where rice and polenta absorb the flavors of dairy, wine, vegetables and slow cooking.
