Tomato and mascarpone risotto

Risottos are my favorite. Love how easy they are and yet so flavourful.  It’s just a few things from the vast option of cheese they have. It’s homemade, fresh, from the farm to your home, made from A2 milk which is known for its various health benefits and is delicious.
