Préparation
Preparing the Risotto Base
In a large saucepan, melt 40 g of butter. Add the finely chopped shallot and let it sweat without coloring. Incorporate the Arborio or Carnaroli rice and stir until it becomes translucent. This essential step ensures the success of a white truffle risotto from Alba with the perfect texture. Pour in the white wine and let it evaporate over medium heat.
Cooking the Rice
Pour a ladle of hot broth over the rice and let it absorb. This gradual wetting technique is the key to a successful Italian truffle risotto, allowing the rice to release its starch and develop a creamy texture. Repeat the process, ladle by ladle, stirring regularly. The cooking should last about 18 to 20 minutes, with the rice remaining slightly firm in the center. This results in a creamy white truffle risotto that is both smooth and perfectly balanced.
Creaming the Risotto
Off the heat, incorporate the remaining butter, grated Parmesan, and a spoonful of Plantin white truffle olive oil. Gently mix to achieve a creamy and smooth texture, the hallmark of a successful gourmet truffle dish.
Plating and Fresh Truffle
Serve immediately in warm shallow plates. Add a light drizzle of white truffle oil and place thin slices of Plantin white truffle from Alba using a mandoline. Finish with a touch of freshly ground black pepper and a few chives to enhance this easy and refined truffle risotto.
Astuce(s) du Chef Plantin
- Add a dollop of mascarpone just before serving for an even creamier risotto.
- Store the white truffle in the refrigerator wrapped in dry paper towel, changing it daily, to preserve its aroma.
- Never heat the white truffle; always add it as a finishing touch to preserve its volatile and delicate notes.

Which rice to choose for a truffle risotto?
The Arborio or Carnaroli varieties are ideal for risotto. Their high starch content allows for a perfect creamy texture to complement the delicate aromas of truffle.
When to add truffle to a risotto?
The truffle should be added at the very end of the preparation, just before serving. The heat of the risotto helps to release its aromas without altering them.
How to achieve a creamy risotto?
A creamy risotto is achieved by gradually adding hot broth while stirring regularly. Finishing with butter and parmesan creates a smooth texture.
Can a truffle risotto be prepared in advance?
It is best to prepare the risotto at the last moment, as the rice continues to absorb liquid while resting. To preserve the creamy texture, it should be served immediately.
