Producer

Ferron risotto rice comes from Isola della Scala, just out of Verona. Their historic 17th century rice mill is thought to be the oldest working mill in Italy and is still water-driven. It is still used to process some rice and is complemented by “modern” machines from the 1950s. Carnaroli and Vialone Nano rice are grown in the traditional, centuries old, agricultural method, without the use of chemical fertilisers or pesticides. In 1996, Ferron Vialone Nano rice was declared an “Indicazione Geografica Protetta” (IGP) - a geographically protected product with an assurance of quality and authenticity. It is the only variety in Europe that carries the IGP quality guarantee.

Ferron rice is very different to the more commercially produced Arborio or Vercelli rice. It is not highly polished, ensuring more essential starch and vitamins remain, giving the rice a greater yield, better texture and a distinct, nutty taste. The rice has the amazing ability to not only absorb greater quantities of stock but to also retain the classic individuality of the grain.

Green Goddess Risotto

Green is good! Experience the maximum flavour impact that quality ingredients bring with this recipe. The meaty flavour of the coppa and the smooth, creamy texture of the Ferron rice, with green peas, are lovely with the herby-nuttiness of the Sabato dill and almond pesto and Parmigiano.
