ACQUERELLO RICE

Acquerello Risotto Rice – Aged 1 Year

Acquerello is the first rice that is aged and has its own germ, which makes the nutritional properties of this white rice the same as those of brown rice.

Acquerello rice combines the delicate taste of white rice with the nutritional benefits of whole grain rice. The rice ages for at least one year in silos with a controlled temperature of 15°C. This process helps the starch remain inside each grain and is not released when cooked, therefore it is not necessary to roast the rice. Aquerello risotto is ready in about 15 minutes.

Ingredients: Carnaroli rice.

The aging of rough rice takes place in silos at controlled temperature and humidity for at least 1 year. This process achieves full stabilisation of the starch and allows the grains to maintain their texture.

The helix is an extraordinary whitening process that dates back to 1875. To this date this process has no competitors due to the fact that this is the most gentle method that prevents any damage to the grains. This is a 20-step process the grains go through in order to have the most perfect shape and white color.

The germ is the most nutritious part of the grain in which we find vitamins and minerals. During the whitening process, the germ detaches from the grain, but is preserved, and then reintegrated into the white grains through a patented process. Acquerello is the only white rice with the same nutritional properties as those of brown rice.

Acquerello rice cooks in 10 minutes and requires 5-6 minutes of resting time. For every 250 g of rice (suitable for 3 people), use 750 ml of boiling water or broth. Add the rice to the boiling water, stir, and remove from heat after 10 minutes. Incorporate oil/butter, salt, and optionally cheese, then let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the rice to absorb any remaining liquid. Acquerello rice can be used in various recipes, including risotto, timbale, or any other dish of your choice.

Acquerello was started in 1991 by Piero Rondolino and his idea to create a rice that distinguished itself from other rice due to its superior quality. Acquerello is the first rice that is aged and has its own germ. This makes the nutritional properties of this white rice the same as those of brown rice.
