Its creation is no coincidence, but the result of a centuries-long symbiosis with the geographical characteristics of Lombardy. The vast Po Valley, also known as Pianura Padana, has been the vital center of European rice cultivation since the Renaissance. From the 15th century onwards, farmers used the region's sophisticated irrigation system to transform the flat land into a productive rice chamber.<\/p>\n<p>While the cuisine of southern Italy is largely characterized by olive groves and their liquid gold, the culinary soul of Lombardy is defined by its lush pastures. This explains why an authentic Milanese risotto gets its creamy perfection not from oil, but from the generous use of butter and beef marrow. It is these animal fats that give the dish its characteristic velvety texture. However, the absolute unique selling point and the pride of every Milanese kitchen is the use of high-quality saffron. This precious ingredient not only gives the rice its deep, sunny aroma, but also the bright yellow color that has always made the dish the epitome of elegance and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1680\" height=\"945\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-1.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)\" title=\"Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-1.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-1-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-1-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-1-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Geschichte_Ein_glucklicher_Unfall_im_Schatten_des_Doms\"><\/span>History: A happy accident in the shadow of the cathedral<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The story of the origins of risotto alla Milanese resembles a fairy tale, the origins of which are closely linked to the monumental construction of Milan Cathedral. Probably the most popular legend takes us back to the year 1574, right in the middle of the glass painters\u201e workshops. A young apprentice of the Flemish master Valerius di Fiandra was known for always adding a pinch of saffron to his pigments to give the stained glass windows an incomparable golden sheen. His penchant for this precious spice was so pronounced that his colleagues teasingly called him \u201cZafferano\u2019. On the day of Master Valerius' daughter's wedding, the apprentice is said to have mixed a generous amount of his yellow dye into the festive rice, which was usually prepared simply with butter at the time - either as a joke or in protest, depending on the narrative. What was intended as sabotage turned into a culinary triumph: the wedding party was so enraptured by the visual brilliance and deep aroma of the golden rice that the birth of a classic was sealed.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this charming tradition, it was centuries before the dish found its place in high-end gastronomy. The transition from the medieval dish to the risotto we appreciate today was a gradual one. It was not until the 19th century that the recipe was officially canonized in its modern form. The year 1829 marked a decisive milestone, when the chef Felice Luraschi wrote in his work <i>\u201eNuovo cuoco milanese economico\u201c<\/i> first set down the \u201eRisotto alla Milanese giallo\u201c in writing. This not only defined the use of saffron, but also the technique of slow cooking with meat stock and onions, which is still the basis for the perfect risotto today. <i>Cremosit\u00e0<\/i> forms.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1680\" height=\"945\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-2.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)\" title=\"Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-2.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-2-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-2-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-2-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Besonderheiten_der_Region_Die_kulinarische_Seele_der_Lombardei\"><\/span>Special features of the region: the culinary soul of Lombardy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Lombardy presents itself as a region of fascinating contrasts, whose character ranges from the rugged peaks of the Alps in the north to the endless expanses of the Po Valley in the south. In culinary terms, this province radically breaks with the usual Mediterranean stereotype of Italy. Anyone expecting the dominance of sun-ripened tomatoes and olive oil will be surprised by a cuisine that focuses on consistency and strength. The foggy plains and cooler climates of Lombardy have always been dominated by rice, golden <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/en\/culinary\/recipes\/polenta\/\">Polenta<\/a><\/strong> and meat dishes stewed for hours. This preference is a direct legacy of the hard agricultural work and the climatic conditions that required nourishing, warming food.<\/p>\n<p>The heart of this cooking culture is the \u201emantecatura\u201c - the almost meditative art of stirring the risotto to a perfect creaminess at the end of the cooking time. However, this culinary miracle can only be achieved by using specific, starchy rice varieties such as Carnaroli or Arborio, which are mainly cultivated in the water-rich provinces of Pavia and Vercelli. While carnaroli is often considered the \u201eking of rice\u201c as it keeps its shape perfectly, the starch released provides the desired binding. An often underestimated but essential detail for the authentic Milanese version is the beef marrow (<i>Midollo di bue<\/i>). It is traditionally left out with the onions at the beginning and gives the dish an incomparable depth and a silky melt that butter alone could never replicate. This is how Lombard cuisine combines rural tradition with the luxurious sophistication of a metropolis.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1680\" height=\"945\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-8.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Ingredients Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)\" title=\"Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-8.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-8-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-8-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-8-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-8-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-8-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-8-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Ingredients for risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"inw-card inw-card--plain\">\n<div class=\"inw-kicker\" style=\"display: block; font-size: 11px; font-weight: 600; letter-spacing: 0.2em; text-transform: uppercase; color: #7a3b50; margin: 0 0 12px;\">INGREDIENTS<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"inw-h\">Ingredients for Risotto alla Milanese<\/h3>\n<hr class=\"inw-hr\" style=\"width: 34px; height: 2px; border: 0; background: #7A3B50; margin: 0 0 20px;\" \/>\n<div class=\"inw-ingredients\">\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"inw-ing-amount\">320 g<\/span> <span class=\"inw-ing-name\">Carnaroli rice<span class=\"inw-ing-note\">preferred because of its starch structure<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"inw-ing-amount\">1.5 liters<\/span> <span class=\"inw-ing-name\">Rich meat broth<span class=\"inw-ing-note\">Beef or chicken, kept warm<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"inw-ing-amount\">50 g<\/span> <span class=\"inw-ing-name\">Beef Marrow<span class=\"inw-ing-note\">have it cut up by the butcher<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"inw-ing-amount\">80 g<\/span> <span class=\"inw-ing-name\">Cold Butter<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"inw-ing-amount\">100 ml<\/span> <span class=\"inw-ing-name\">Dry white wine<span class=\"inw-ing-note\">e.g., Pinot Grigio<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"inw-ing-amount\">1<\/span> <span class=\"inw-ing-name\">Small white onion<span class=\"inw-ing-note\">finely chopped<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"inw-ing-amount\">1 teaspoon<\/span> <span class=\"inw-ing-name\">Saffron threads<span class=\"inw-ing-note\">No powder for the best quality<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"inw-ing-amount\">60 g<\/span> <span class=\"inw-ing-name\">Grana Padano or Parmigiano Reggiano<span class=\"inw-ing-note\">freshly grated, aged 24 months<\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"inw-ing-amount\">to taste<\/span> <span class=\"inw-ing-name\">Salt<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Zubereitung\"><\/span>Preparation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ol class=\"inw-steps\" style=\"list-style: none;\">\n<li><span class=\"inw-step-title\">Preparation<\/span>Soak the saffron threads in a small cup of hot stock and leave to infuse for at least 20 minutes.

Probably the most iconic combination that no traditional Milanese restaurant should be without is the <b>Ossobuco alla Milanese<\/b>. Here, the braised veal shank is served in an aromatic sauce of vegetables and white wine, with the saffron rice serving as a golden stage to soak up the rich meat juices. Especially the <i>Gremolata<\/i> - a fresh mixture of parsley, lemon and garlic, which crowns the meat - forms a brilliant contrast to the creamy earthiness of the rice.<\/p>\n<p>But the versatility of the \u201eyellow classic\u201c goes even further. In the rural tradition, risotto is also often served with the <b>Luganega<\/b>, a typical thin sausage from the region, which is either cooked directly in the rice or served fried. If you like it even more rustic, enjoy the risotto with stews such as the <i>Cassoeula<\/i>, a hearty savoy cabbage and pork stew that is particularly popular in the cool winter months. Served as a starter, risotto usually calls for a light accompaniment due to its richness, such as a tender veal escalope (<i>Cotoletta alla Milanese<\/i>). Regardless of the combination, however, one rule remains ironclad: A true Milanese risotto does not tolerate any side dishes that could drown out its delicate saffron flavor - it seeks partners on an equal footing who emphasize the melting and spicy flavors of the north.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/OssobucoRisottoallaMilanese-scaled.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Ossobuco with risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)\" title=\"Ossobuco with risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/OssobucoRisottoallaMilanese-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/OssobucoRisottoallaMilanese-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/OssobucoRisottoallaMilanese-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/OssobucoRisottoallaMilanese-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/OssobucoRisottoallaMilanese-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/OssobucoRisottoallaMilanese-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/OssobucoRisottoallaMilanese-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Ossobuco with risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Von_der_Sternekuche_bis_zur_Retro-Trattoria_Mailands_beste_Adressen_fur_Risotto-Liebhaber\"><\/span>From Michelin-starred cuisine to retro trattorias: Milan's best addresses for risotto lovers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you want to experience risotto alla Milanese to perfection in its place of origin, you will find a handful of institutions in the Lombard metropolis that cultivate the dish like a shrine. Each of these establishments tells its own story and approaches the classic dish from a different perspective. In the vibrant Porta Nuova district, the <b>Ristorante Ratan\u00e0<\/b> A benchmark for modern Lombard cuisine. Head chef Cesare Battisti, who is often referred to as the \u201eking of risotto\u201c in professional circles, cooks in an aesthetically restored 19th century industrial building. His \u201eRisotto alla Vecchia Milano\u201c is a homage to tradition, which is brought into the present day through precise craftsmanship and the selection of excellent primary ingredients. The balance between the melting taste of the beef marrow and the freshness of the saffron is simply unsurpassed.<\/p>\n<p>A deep dive into Milan's city history is made possible by the <b>Trattoria Masuelli San Marco<\/b>. Since 1921, this family business has been run with a passion that can be felt in every detail - from the original Thonet chairs to the warm service. Here, the risotto, prepared according to strict rules, is the classic accompaniment to the <i>Ossobuco alla Milanese<\/i>. For lovers of authentic old Milan, the <b>Antica Trattoria della Pesa<\/b> an absolute must. This restaurant has been breathing history since 1880 and is famous for its \u201erisotto al salto\u201c, in which the rice is fried in a pan to form a crispy golden flatbread.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone looking for an avant-garde interpretation should try the <b>Sine By Di Pinto<\/b> visit. Here, chef Roberto Di Pinto breaks with convention and presents a \u201egastro-diplomacy\u201c that crosses Milanese heritage with Neapolitan soul. His risotto is an explosion of flavors that shows just how versatile tradition can be. It gets even more exclusive in the <b>Seta<\/b>, the Michelin-starred restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental. Under the direction of Antonio Guida, the risotto becomes an almost sacred experience in which technique and aesthetics merge into a perfect symbiosis.<\/p>\n<p>A charming contrast is provided by the <b>Risoelatte<\/b>. In this restaurant, which is furnished like a Milanese apartment from the 1960s, the risotto tastes like an Italian grandmother's - unagitated, honest and served with a large portion of nostalgia. More down-to-earth and deeply rooted in the neighborhood is the <b>Trattoria Da Abele Temperanza<\/b>. Here they are particularly proud of the daily variation in the art of rice, with the classic yellow risotto always remaining the centerpiece. Finally, if you are looking for the typical hospitality of Lombardy, the <b>Locanda del Menarost<\/b> find it. A version is served here in a rustic, cozy ambience that impresses with its creaminess and the genuine taste of regional butter and immediately makes guests feel why this dish is the soul of the city.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1680\" height=\"945\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-4.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)\" title=\"Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-4.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-4-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-4-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-4-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Ossobuco alla Milanese on risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"inw-h\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ein_Teller_pures_Gold_Das_Fazit_einer_kulinarischen_Reise\"><\/span>A plate of pure gold: the conclusion of a culinary journey<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Risotto alla Milanese is far more than just a traditional rice dish; it is a purist masterpiece of northern Italian cuisine. It is impressive proof of how a culinary work of art with global appeal can be created from a handful of exquisite ingredients. In every spoonful, the gentle sweetness of glazed, steamed onions is combined with the hearty depth of the beef marrow to form a harmonious whole. This interplay is crowned by the noble, slightly tart and almost metallic aroma of saffron, which gives the risotto its unmistakable identity.<\/p>\n<p>Preparing this classic is like a ritual that requires undivided attention and a genuine love of detail. However, those who commit to the slow stirring and gradual infusion of the broth will be rewarded with a texture that hovers between velvet and silk. The result is a dish whose bright color conjures up the sunshine of Lombardy on the plate and more than makes up for every minute of patient waiting. A genuine risotto alla Milanese is not just a meal, but a tribute to the history and craftsmanship of an entire region. <i>Enjoy your meal!<\/i><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_right wpb_content_element\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1680\" height=\"945\" src=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-6.jpg\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)\" title=\"Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-6.jpg 1680w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-6-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-6-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-6-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-6-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-6-750x422.jpg 750w, https:\/\/italien.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/RisottoallaMilanese-6-1140x641.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1680px) 100vw, 1680px\" \/><\/div><figcaption class=\"vc_figure-caption\">Risotto alla Milanese, Milan, Italy (Credits shutterstock.com)<\/figcaption>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\"><div  class=\"jeg_block_heading jeg_block_heading_6 jeg_alignleft jnews_module__0_6af1c7cea2769\">\n                <h3 class=\"jeg_block_title\"><span>Map: Milan, Italy<\/span><\/h3>\n                \n            <\/div><div class=\"wpb_gmaps_widget wpb_content_element vc_map_responsive\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_map_wraper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?q=Mailand%2C%20Italien&#038;t=m&#038;z=10&#038;output=embed&#038;iwloc=near\" title=\"Milan, Italy\" aria-label=\"Milan, Italy\" ><\/iframe><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid\"><div class=\"jeg-vc-wrapper\"><div class=\"wpb_column jeg_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"jeg_wrapper wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"vc_empty_space\"   style=\"height: 32px\"><span class=\"vc_empty_space_inner\"><\/span><\/div><div  class=\"jeg_block_heading jeg_block_heading_6 jeg_alignleft jnews_module__1_6af1c7cea2c30\">\n                <h3 class=\"jeg_block_title\"><span>FAQ: Risotto alla Milanese<\/span><\/h3>\n                \n            <\/div><div  class='jnews-faq-wrapper jnews_module__2_6af1c7cea2e17 style-4'>\n\t\t\t\t    \n        <div class=\"list-wrapper expand\">\n            <a class=\"list-toogle\" href=\"#\" aria-label=\"Toggle FAQ: Was unterscheidet ein echtes Risotto alla Milanese von einem normalen Safran-Risotto?\">\n                <h5 class=\"question\">What is the difference between a real risotto alla Milanese and a normal saffron risotto?<\/h5>\n                <svg class=\"faq-icon\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"14\" height=\"8\" viewbox=\"0 0 14 8\" fill=\"none\">\n                    <path d=\"M13.6152 0.369517C13.3685 0.132903 13.0341 0 12.6855 0C12.3368 0 12.0024 0.132903 11.7557 0.369517L6.98417 4.95184L2.21262 0.369517C1.96321 0.146331 1.63333 0.024827 1.29248 0.0306025C0.951625 0.0363779 0.626413 0.168982 0.385357 0.400478C0.1443 0.631975 0.00621891 0.94429 0.00020504 1.27162C-0.00580883 1.59896 0.120714 1.91576 0.353117 2.15528L6.05442 7.63048C6.30111 7.8671 6.63551 8 6.98417 8C7.33283 8 7.66723 7.8671 7.91392 7.63048L13.6152 2.15528C13.8616 1.91837 14 1.59723 14 1.2624C14 0.927566 13.8616 0.606426 13.6152 0.369517Z\" fill=\"black\" \/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/a>\n            <div class=\"card-expand\">\n                <p>An authentic risotto alla Milanese is traditionally characterized by the use of beef marrow, which gives the dish an incomparable depth and creaminess, while a simple saffron risotto is often based solely on butter and onions.
