      The Veronese plain at the base of the pre-alpine reliefs is a land rich in pure water that rises to the surface. For this morphological characteristic in this region has developed since 1500, the cultivation of rice here finds optimal environmental conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Verona is one of the main rice producers in Italy with a wide variety of rice types and of course also different ways to eat it. There are many recipes and combinations with other local products and one of these is risotto with asparagus from Verona.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
