Imported from Piedmont, Italy, Acquerello Carnaroli Rice is the perfect, always ideal dente rice for risotto and more. The Rondolini Family has been harvesting rice on their estate, Tenuta Colombara in the province of Vercelli in Piemonte since 1935. It’s the richest, because it is aged for at least one year in refrigerated silos. Starch is more stable and flavor enhanced. It’s the tastiest, because it’s the only rice whitened with a helix, a gentle method which leaves the grain intact. It’s the healthiest, because thanks to a patented process the rice germ is absorbed in the grains, giving them all the nutritional values of brown rice.
Brown rice is a kind of whole, natural grain. It has a mild nutty flavor, is chewier and more nutritious than white rice.
Carnaroli is considered the “king of rices” it Italy, for its superior texture, large grains, and sweet flavor. FOG Smoked Carnaroli by Gli Aironi is smoked with cherry wood for 14 hours resulting in a rice with soft woody notes. Use in classic risotto recipes for a delicately smokey flavor, or simply boil in salted water, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil, and serve with meat, fish or vegetables.
For the past five generations, Gli Aironi has focused on improving farming conditions in the Vercelli region of northern Italy, implementing less invasive agriculture and restoring the local ecosystem. Their rice is minimally processed, retaining part of the germ where protein and vitamins A, D, E, and K are present. This is impossible with industrial processing methods, which cannot guarantee the retention of nutrients. The company constantly seeks perfection, assisted by food scientist Michele Perinotti, and has led international chefs (including Jamie Oliver) to choose Gli Aironi rice.
Thai jasmine rice is recognized around the world as having the finest quality–it’s Thailand’s principle export product. Jasmine rice was developed years ago in Thailand. The agricultural name is Khao Dawk Mali 105, rice with a distinctive jasmine scent, also known locally as Khao Hom Mali. Very aromatic and fresh, all of our jasmine rice has a fantastic aroma, consistency, and we regard this as the best Thai jasmine rice exported from Thailand.
