Saffron Risotto

Saffron Risotto is a traditional Swiss dish from the Italian-speaking region of Switzerland. The risotto was first made in the town of Ticino, on the country's southernmost tip, with saffron from the nearby canton (state/province) of Valais.

Saffron is a beautiful dark red color that is known to be among the best on the planet. This could explain why the hand-picked spice is referred to as'red gold.' Aside from the iconic ingredient, the creamy risotto is made with rice, garlic, onions, and butter, just like at home. Bacon and veal are popular local additions.

Topping it all off, the risotto is seasoned with pepper, salt, and thyme, as well as the distinct aroma of world-famous saffron.
