Ready-to-Eat Risotto Pots

The Fontana Formiello Risotto Range is Shelf-Stable

Risotto is often associated with high-end restaurants and traditionally consumed at dinnertime, which is something the Fontana Formiello Risotto range aims to change.

Conveniently contained in pot-style packaging, the risotto is made with premium Italian rice, is free from sugar, low in fat and also a good source of fiber. The rice pots can be microwaved for a quick lunch, snack or dinner to eliminate the need to manually make the premium Italian rice dish from home.

The Fontana Formiello Risotto range includes two flavors including Porcini and Tomato, which are both available now from independent retailers across the UK. The packaging design used for the products allow it to maintain freshness for up to 18 months on the shelf for enhanced convenience for shoppers to appreciate.
