Risottare: Refers to the method of cooking pasta as if it were risotto, by gradually adding liquid and continuously stirring or tossing. This technique is often used to integrate sauces and flavors into the pasta.

🧀 Cheese lovers alert! Have you ever tried rosemary manchego?

We’ve tried this delicious cheese and couldn’t get enough of it at the recent wine tasting event.

Aromatic rosemary leaves coat this rich Manchego cheese, complementing its nutty herbal flavour.
The raw cheese is coated with fresh local rosemary before 15 months of aging. During the curing time, the cheese picks up a hint of the amazing aroma of the rosemary, adding an extra
depth of flavour.

Serve this cheese with nuts and honey with a glass of
your favorite wine. 🍷

Find your new favourite cheese at @billsfarmfoodservice
