Our Risotto Masterpiece!  Garlic Herb Cucina Aurora Risotto Prepared by the Culinary Geniuses at Whom You Know
Oh, if only all risottos were this delicious.
Based on our first experience with Cucina Aurora Risotto, we cannot say enough about the quality of ingredients, ease of cooking and final result which is absolutely restaurant-quality.  Actually, this is better than some of the restaurants we've visited, and if we see a lot more on this level some of the restaurants we review could be in trouble!  If Peachy can make better Risotto than you, restaurant, she could be inclined to stay home!  

If you are not a culinary genius and want to have a meal that is evocative of this level of quality, you turn to Cucina Aurora Garlic and Italian Herb Risotto.  All you need to add to it is water and olive oil-so healthy, by the way-and you ought to use theirs that we told you about earlier this week.  The Cucina Aurora Garlic Herb Risotto is a very easy side-dish to make that adds style to your meal-as you know, we preach the gospel of Italian style on our legs via Emilio Cavallini made only in Florence, Italy. This risotto has the perfect balance of a highly-seasoned garlic flavor without being overwhelming. It pairs well with steak or chicken, and your dinner guests will swoon over your expertise and ask if you made it from scratch.  Well, the secret is out.

Garlic and Italian Herb Risotto is Highly Recommended by Whom You Know.




Cucina Aurora Kitchen Witchery manufactures gourmet specialty foods in a small warehouse in Salem NH. Each bottle of infused olive oil is made by hand using imported Italian olive oil from Tuscany Italy. All herbal infusions are mixed and filled into each bottle by hand from owner, Dawn Hunt’s personal recipes. Because the base oil is a virgin olive oil, and not extra virgin, the flavor is more smooth and the burn temperature is higher making all these olive oils great for cooking.


The Roasted Garlic Infused Olive Oil is the number one seller and the most popular item at Cucina Aurora. This oil has a buttery taste and is perfect for cooking chicken or tossing over pasta. There is a hint of red pepper flake for a sharp finish to this garlic infusion.


Rosemary and Oregano Infused Olive Oil is the second most popular product made by Cucina Aurora and is a wonderful addition for roasting potatoes, or meats in the over up to 425 degrees. Made with the highest quality dried rosemary and a touch of oregano this oil’s flavor profile is earthy and robust with a hint of balanced sea salt.


With traditional Italian flavors of basil and garlic, the Sundried Tomato and Basil infused olive oil is a fan favorite for pastas and salads. Sundried tomatoes are put into each bottle by hand to give off just a bit of acidity to balance the sweetness of Italian basil and a hint of garlic.


Cucina Aurora also manufactures clean ingredient Dip mixes. Each has no MSG or artificial colors or flavors. The Veggie Dill Mix can be used with sour cream or Greek yogurt for a dip with carrots, cucumbers or other vegetables. This product can be mixed into chicken or tuna salad or even sprinkled onto fish or chicken.


Another product made by hand by Cucina Aurora is a line of simmer and serve risotto mixes. These mixes are Gluten Free, and Vegan friendly. Each one is filled with authentic Arborio Rice and plenty of clean ingredients to make them full of flavor. The Garlic and Italian herb risotto has huge slices of garlic and a mixture of Italian herbs for an authentic flavor just adding water, to simmer for 20 minute and stirring twice. Following the directions is key to this easy risotto, simply add the dry risotto to a medium skillet and cook to package instructions.
