Acquerello Aged Risotto Rice – Carnaroli Superfino Acquerello is considered the best risotto rice in the world used by top chefs and loved for its unmatched texture, flavor, and consistency. Grown and produced on the historic Tenuta Colombara estate in Italy’s Vercelli province, this Carnaroli Superfino rice is aged, refined, and enhanced through a unique patented process that preserves nutrients while delivering perfect cooking performance. Why Acquerello Is Unique Aged for over 1 year in refrigerated silos to stabilize starch and proteins. Patented germ restoration makes it the only white rice with the nutrients of brown rice. Absorbs sauces beautifully while staying firm and never sticky. Ideal for risotto, paella, rice salads, broths, and gourmet dishes. Each grain “dances in the mouth,” offering a creamy yet structured texture that chefs like Heston Blumenthal and Alain Ducasse trust for their signature risottos. How It’s Made Acquerello undergoes over 20 artisanal steps: Aged raw with its husk at low temperatures. Slowly refined with a helix system rather than high-speed industrial milling. Re-enriched with its original germ for superior nutrition and flavor. Dried and stabilized to maintain integrity during cooking. This careful process results in a rice that cooks evenly, absorbs flavor deeply, and achieves perfect creaminess. Sustainably Cultivated Tenuta Colombara maintains a high-water ecosystem that protects local fauna such as herons, frogs, and dragonflies preserving the biodiversity of the rice fields.
