About Cheese risotto

Cheese Risotto is a creamy Italian dish that combines Arborio rice, broth, wine, and a rich blend of cheeses such as Parmesan and sometimes mascarpone or cheddar. Originating from northern Italy, risotto is a staple of Italian cuisine known for its velvety texture and comforting flavors. While it provides a good source of carbohydrates and calcium, its high-fat and calorie content can be a consideration depending on portion size and the types of cheese used. The dish's key ingredients—rice and broth—are naturally gluten-free, making it accessible for those with gluten sensitivities. Pairing cheese risotto with vegetables or lean protein can create a more balanced meal. Rich, indulgent, and satisfying, cheese risotto remains a timeless choice for those seeking a delicious Italian comfort food.
