My kit for your perfect truffle risotto

Let’s be honest: A truffle risotto stands or falls on its ingredients. I didn’t want to cut corners. That’s why this box contains exactly the combination that I find absolutely perfect. You’ll get a very special rice from Piedmont and authentic truffle expertise from Tuscany.

Here's how I put the set together for you:

The rice makes all the difference. I specifically chose Riso Barone Carnaroli. It’s the only Italian rice with a protected designation of origin. You won’t find it in a regular supermarket. I love it because it retains that perfect bite when cooked yet still becomes nice and creamy.

Double the Truffle Power Unfortunately, many products often taste artificial. It was important to me that you get the real experience on your plate. There are two ingredients that make this possible. First, the “Rustica” truffle carpaccio. This is a chunky salsa with real pieces of summer truffle for deep flavor and texture. And then there’s the white truffle oil. Drizzle a few drops of that over the top right at the very end. The aroma is incredible.

Guaranteed to turn out perfectly. You don’t have to be a pro. The recipe card is included. If you want to make it even easier, just scan the QR code. That will take you to a video featuring Andreas Wunderer. He’ll walk you through the risotto step by step and show you exactly when to add each ingredient to the pot.

The Upgrade: The Right Stock A risotto needs good liquid. Skip the bouillon cube and choose the right stock for it instead.

• Vegetables & Garden: Purely vegetarian, but packed with energy.

• Light-colored poultry: The classic choice. It gives the risotto a nice, rounded, full-bodied flavor.

What else you'll need at home: Pick up some butter, Parmesan cheese, and a splash of white wine. I've packed everything else for you. By the way, these items will keep for ages without refrigeration. So you can easily keep the kit in your cupboard as a stock item or give it as a gift.

The red gold of the Vinschgau Valley. Experience the classic Risotto alla Milanese taken to a whole new level: with Elisabeth Tappeiner’s rare saffron and Italy’s finest rice.

Risotto alla Milanese is a classic dish of Italian cuisine. It seems simple, but it doesn’t forgive mistakes. If the rice sticks or the saffron lacks flavor, the dish immediately loses its magic.

With this “Oro Rosso” edition, you’re bringing home a true rarity. The centerpiece of this box doesn’t come from Persia, but from the steep, sun-drenched slopes of the Vinschgau Valley. I’m very proud to have secured Elisabeth Tappeiner from Kartheingut as a partner.

Here's what's in it for you:

Saffron from the Kartheingut Farm (Tschars) This is the highlight. Elisabeth and her husband Peter harvest this saffron entirely by hand—often before sunrise, so the flowers retain their full aroma. You’ll taste the difference right away: this saffron is more intense, earthier, and turns your risotto an incredible shade of yellow. An absolute rarity that’s hard to find in stores.

The perfect base To really bring out the flavor of this premium saffron, I use Riso Barone Carnaroli (DOP). It absorbs the flavor deeply without becoming mushy.
