Slow Cheese Taste Workshop LC30

Rice, Risotto and Cheese

Tasting of two aged rices, Carnaroli di Acquerello aged for one year and Nebbione (also known as old Vercelli) aged two years from the Nebbione Estate of Carisio (Vercelli). They will first be served simply boiled and compared with the same type of rice that hasn't undergone aging, and then cooked in a dish with Slow Food Presidium Castelmagno d'Alpeggio. Accompanied by wines from Gancia of Canelli (Asti).
