At first it was only used to dye fabrics and make perfumes and ointments but once its amazing culinary properties were discovered, it became a prized ingredient with which to make tasty dishes with golden hues such as saffron risotto. This first course, in its essentiality, best enhances the aromatic qualities of saffron but not only that, thanks to its strong coloring power, the rice grains are embellished with a pleasant and captivating gold color that makes this dish so special. A little magic that combined with the creamy touch of the mantecatura, a must in the preparation of risottos, will give you a risotto with a unique and unmistakable flavor. And to make this tasting even more captivating, Greek mythology will come to your aid, telling the legendary and thwarted love between the young Crocus and the seductive nymph Smilace, contested by the God Hermes, who, blinded by jealousy, transformed Crocos into a delicate saffron flower. Store the saffron risotto, closed in an airtight container and placed in the refrigerator, for two days at most. Freezing is not recommended. Saffron risotto can be paired with many dishes: in addition to the typical combination with traditional Milanese ossobuco, it is also excellent with mushrooms, usually porcini mushrooms, sausages but also scampi and other seafood. Saffron is a delicate wisteria-colored flower that contains only three pistils (more correctly stigmas), meticulously hand-picked, for this reason it is a rather expensive product, for this reason also defined as red gold. The thin pistils with a pungent aroma and characteristic carmine color when infused will release with all their intensity a unique flavor and color, a little magic that has always fascinated the people who have come into contact with this precious spice, so much so that it is considered the "king of spices".
