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.
Carnaroli rice is grown in the Piedmont and Lombardy regions of northwest Italy. A short grain, plump Italian white rice, Carnaroli is considered one of the best rices to use in risotto. Carnaroli has a larger grain than the other Italian white rice varieties, but still cooks to a creamy texture with a firm body. Widely considered the finest of the risottos rice varieties, carnaroli has been nicknamed the caviar of rice. It is slightly more sensitive with regard to cooking time and can absorb large amounts of liquid, but carnaroli’s creamy texture and improved flavor keep it a favorite for chefs everywhere risotto is popular.
