Acquerello Carnaroli Rice - 5.5 lbs

Acquerello Aged Carnaroli Risotto Rice is Italy’s finest rice, grown and perfected on the historic Tenuta Colombara estate in the heart of Vercelli, Piedmont. What sets Acquerello apart is the perfect blend of tradition and innovation—an artisanal approach that transforms each grain into a culinary treasure. Unlike ordinary risotto rice, Acquerello Carnaroli is aged for over a year in refrigerated silos, allowing it to develop a deeper flavor while preserving the nutritional richness of proteins and vitamins. This careful aging process also improves the texture, making the grains more resistant to overcooking and ideal for absorbing flavors. Renowned by chefs and home cooks alike, Acquerello is the preferred choice for dishes that demand elegance and precision. Perfect for classic Risotto alla Milanese with saffron, rich Seafood Risotto (Risotto ai Frutti di Mare), or a luxurious Mushroom Risotto (Risotto ai Funghi Porcini). It also works beautifully in Arancini (crispy risotto balls),
