Today, Acquerello rice is considered one of the best rices in the world, used in top restaurants and by renowned chefs. Thanks to the processing and germination at controlled temperatures, the rice acquires unique nutrients and microelements found only in whole grain rice. The rice is packaged in elegant tins of various sizes, these tins are enameled and the rice remains vacuum-sealed. Today, foodexplore offers Acquerello rice in different sizes: 500 g and 1kg. Pairings: Acquerello rice is exclusively used for making risottos, excellent for homemade broths such as meat or vegetable. Storage: Once opened, store in a dark and cool place. Processing: It is the innovative processing devised by the Rondolino family that has made Acquerello rice aged 1 year one of the best Carnaroli rices. In fact, aging in silos at a controlled temperature of 15°C allows for a transpiration that makes the proteins and starch less soluble, thus during cooking it absorbs seasonings more effectively and also ensures optimal cooking. Acquerello rice is whitened using a helix that allows the rice grain to be whitened through physical friction with another grain, keeping the rice grain intact and perfect for cooking. Germination is a process that makes Acquerello rice so rich in starch and micronutrients; indeed, the germ that is initially removed is reintroduced into Acquerello rice.
