    I had an aunt from Northern Italia, and they make "Risotto"...Well, lets just say its the best flavor, and lots of chesse, and it takes hours, to incorporate all the ingredients that make up the sauce. This is even before the rice is added..Won;t go into the entire receipe, but I am sure BOTH the America & Italian are just as good..-COLLAPSE
