FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Before preparing the orange risotto it’s normal to have some doubts, especially if it’s your first time.
Here you will find the answers to the questions I am most frequently asked, so you can cook it with peace of mind.
Can I prepare the orange risotto in advance?
Risotto is always better freshly made, but you can prepare the sauté and toast the rice in advance. When it’s time to serve it, you just need to cook it by adding the hot broth.
What type of orange is best to use?
It is best to use an untreated orange, as the zest is also used. Sweet oranges make the risotto more balanced and delicate.
Can I replace robiola cheese with another cheese?
Yes, you can use another soft and delicate cheese, such as crescenza or stracchino. It’s important to avoid overly aged cheeses that would overpower the orange flavor.
