Note

The Carnaroli rice is a large grain Italian rice with a creamy texture, ideal for preparing risottos.
The Bertagnina di Dorno pumpkin is a PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) product originating in the province of Pavia, in Lombardia. It is characterised by a sweet, sugary flavour and soft, firm flesh.
White wine from Oltrepò Pavese is an Italian white wine produced in the province of Pavia. It is a dry and fruity wine, ideal for fading risottos.
