The history of risotto: a tradition that has captivated generations.
Of Italian origin, risotto is a typical dish from the Lombardy region in northern Italy. Made with Arborio rice—rich in starch and ideal for creamy preparation—it has become synonymous with refinement, comfort, and versatility.
Over the years, risotto has conquered kitchens around the world, gaining versions adapted to different cultures and local ingredients. At the festival promoted by Clementina, this tradition gains new layers of flavor by incorporating regional ingredients from Minas Gerais and the signature touch of chef Rafa Oliver.
