Acquerello Carnaroli rice is grown, harvested, aged, processed and packed at Tenuta Colombara in Piedmont, Italy. The unpolished rice is aged for at least one year in temperature-controlled silos to stabilise its starch and help the grains retain their texture while absorbing flavours during cooking. It is gently whitened using a helix process before the nutrient-rich rice germ is restored through Acquerello's patented method. The result is intact, flavourful grains with a firm texture, ideal for risotto and other premium rice dishes.
