Acquerello Carnaroli Rice

Acquerello carnaroli rice is a premium Italian risotto rice, aged and processed to enhance both texture and flavor. Grown in the Piedmont region and matured for at least one year, the grains undergo a unique process where the germ is removed and later reintegrated, preserving nutritional value while improving cooking performance. The result is rice that maintains its shape, absorbs flavor exceptionally well, and delivers a creamy yet structured consistency ideal for risotto.

Best suited for classic risotto preparations, it releases starch gradually to create a smooth, cohesive texture while keeping a firm core. It also works well in other dishes where grain integrity matters, such as rice salads or composed plates. Packaged in a 1.1 pound can, it is protected from light and air, helping preserve quality over time.

Acquerello is widely regarded as one of Italy’s most respected rice producers, known for its innovative aging and processing techniques combined with traditional cultivation methods. The brand’s focus on quality and consistency has made it a staple in professional kitchens and among home cooks seeking a reliable, high-performance risotto rice.
