I’ve never had orzotto, what is it, and how does it taste?

Orzotto is like risotto, but made with pearl barley instead of rice. It has a slightly nutty taste and a tender bite that holds up beautifully when reheated. Paired with earthy porcini and red wine–braised beef, it’s the ultimate winter warmer.

How is this meal packaged?

Davide's Slow Cooked Beef Cheeks With Porcini Orzotto is packaged in a two part foil container, with the beef cheek stew on one side, and the Porcini Orzotto on the other. This makes it easy to reheat, and transport too.

Italian Fine Dining at Home, Made with Love by Davide

Davide’s slow cooked beef cheeks with porcini orzotto bring the elegance of a restaurant dish into your home kitchen. The beef cheeks are gently braised for 36 hours in red wine, tomato, and aromatics until they become irresistibly tender, almost melting into their rich sauce. Paired with orzotto—a creamy pearl barley dish from Davide’s hometown—this meal combines the depth of slow-braised beef with the earthy richness of porcini mushrooms for a dish that’s as comforting as it is refined.

Orzotto may be lesser known than risotto, but it deserves the same spotlight. Cooked slowly with white wine, parmesan, and butter, barley releases its starches into a glossy, creamy base while keeping its signature al dente bite. The porcini add an unmistakable umami note that lifts the entire dish. Arriving as a complete single-serve, frozen and ready to reheat in minutes, it’s fine dining without fuss—perfect for a night in when you still want something truly special.

About Your Cook

Hi, I'm Davide

"I am the quintessential Italian chef! Born and raised in Venice, Italy, I trained and worked in some of the worlds most delectable restaurants in the world. But all this “professional” knowledge pales in comparison to the lessons I learnt from my Mamma and Nonna!

Food is life and everything revolves around food, however, cooking for others is my true passion. I enjoy making classic Italian dishes and am excited to experiment and revitalise traditional meals with new ingredients."
