Sourced from small family-run farms and dairies, the artisan cheeses do not contain any additives or preservatives and many are made with unpasteurised milk from free-grazing mountain cows, sheep and goats. Vorrei s Parmigiano Reggiano has been aged for 36 months. The mouthwatering cheese is produced in the picturesque Apennine Mountain region of Emilia Romagna near Parma. It s perfect on it s own, with a drizzle of authentic, aged Balsamic Vinegar from Modena and a glass of Vorrei s organic Chianti. Vorrei is also stocking the world s first aged vegetarian Parmesan made using vegetable rennet (from thistles) and containing no lactose or preservatives. The cheese is the perfect addition to the company s new summer picnic hamper. Most of the cheeses in the Vorrei range carry Italy s highest food accreditation, DOP - Denominazione di Origine Protetta and as with all of Vorrei s products, they are not industrially produced in large quantities.

When the stock is ready, warm the oil in a saucepan and gently fry the shallot. When it becomes transparent add the rice and toast it until the grains become almost transparent too.
