Today, Acquerello rice is considered one of the best rices in the world, used in top restaurants and by the best chefs. Thanks to the processing and germination at controlled temperatures, the rice acquires unique nutrients and microelements found only in whole grain rices. 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 1 kg. Pairings: Acquerello rice is exclusively for making risottos, excellent for use in homemade broths such as meat or vegetable broths. Storage: Once opened, store in a cool, dark 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 allows for better absorption of seasonings and also makes the cooking optimal. 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 allows Acquerello rice to be so rich in starch and micronutrients; in fact, the germ that is first removed is reintroduced into Acquerello rice.
