Acquerello Organic Carnaroli Rice will prove to you that not all rice is created equally. This highly praised rice is produced and packed by the Rondolino family on the Tenuta Torrone della Colombara Estate, in the heart of Piedmont region in Italy. The rice is aged, refined and enriched with its own germ by a patented process, making the rice richer, tastier and healthier and unique and famous.
Acquerello grains are perfectly whole, fully consistent, tastier and not sticky. So it is ideal to make risotto, deserts, boiled rice dishes and everything in between.
The Colombara farm was built in the 16th Century, in the Piedmont region of northern Italy near the town of Vercelli, the European capital of rice.The Carnaroli rice cultivated at Colombara, being the only variety sown since 1997, is 100% pure and therefore produces uncontaminated Carnaroli seeds.
The Carnaroli rice cultivated at Colombara, being the only variety sown since 1997, is 100% pure and therefore produces uncontaminated Carnaroli seeds. One of the key points to perfection is the aging process. To age properly, the freshly harvested crop must be stored, as long as possible, in unique steel silos at a constant controlled temperature, because during this period the starch, combined with the oxygen, optimizes its culinary characteristics.
