Rice "Acquerello" 500g

Info

Acquerello rice is a Carnaroli rice from Vercelli, located in the Italian region of Piemonte (Piedmont). After this rice is harvested from the fields, it is allowed to age for one year, which improves the texture of the rice and makes it more absorbent for cooking risotto.

Acquerello risotto rice is tastier because it is the only rice refined with the propeller, a delicate process that leaves each grain of rice intact. It is richer because it is aged in refrigerated silos for at least a year, stabilising the starch contained in the grains. It is healthier because a patented process reintegrates the germ into the grain, giving it the same nutritional values that are otherwise only found in whole grain rice
Acquerello Rice is aged for 1 to 7 years. This long process makes the starch, proteins and vitamins in the rice less water-soluble, strengthening the structure of the grains. This means that Acquerello Rice has the nutrients of brown rice with the easiness of cooking white rice. As it does not become sticky and mushy when cooked, it is ideal for making paella and risotto.
