Packaged sustainably in a 5.5 lb bag, it serves 16-25 portions, perfect for authentic, restaurant-quality risotto at home. ## Description Acquerello carnaroli rice is grown using a crop rotation system. It is the only rice variety sown on the farm, thus eliminating thr possibility of inadvertent hibridization with other varieties. After the harvest, the unhulled grains of Acquerello Carnaroli are aged for one year in Colombara’s temperature controlled silos. This process renders starch, proteins and vitamins less water-soluble, improving the consistency of the grains and enabling them to absorb more cooking liquid. When cooked, the grains become larger, firmer, do not stick together and taste better. After the aging process, the rice is refined and “whitened”. For this step in the transformation prosess “the screw” (a machine invented in 1975) is still regarded the best for the job, and is by no means the most economical. In this machine, the rice spirals slowly downwards, gently rubbing grain against grain, maintaining the nutritional values which can be easily lost with other bleaching methods. At the end of the process, Acquerello rice is perfectly polished honey color. ## Features - Premium Risotto Rice: Acquerello Carnaroli rice, aged to perfection, ensures unmatched creaminess and flavor in every dish. - Expertly Grown in Italy: Cultivated and processed in the Vercelli Province, Italy, known for producing the finest rice in the world. - Aged for Superior Quality: The unique aging process enhances the rice’s starch content, making it ideal for creating authentic, velvety risottos. - Eco-Friendly Packaging: Carefully sealed in a 5.5 lb (2.5 kg) bag, ensuring freshness while supporting sustainable farming practices. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004Y0OIGO | | ASIN | B004Y0OIGO | | Best Sellers Rank | #100,516 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) #422 in White Rice | | Brand Name | Acquerello | | Coin Variety 1 | Carnaroli | | Container Type | Bag | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (657) | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (657) | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Form | Grain | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 2.51 Kilograms | | Item Type Name | food | | Item Weight | 2.5 Kilograms | | Item model number | 910055 | | Manufacturer | Acquerello | | Manufacturer | Acquerello | | Model Number | 910055 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Size Name | 2.5 kg vacuum packed | | Part Number | 910055 | | Product Dimensions | 14 x 8 x 26 cm; 2.5 kg | | Serving Range | 16-25 Portionen | | Size | 5.5 Pound (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 819403000230 081940300023 | | Unit Count | 88.0 Grams | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Acquerello - **Item package quantity:** 1 - **Item weight:** 2.5 Kilograms - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Unit count:** 88.0 Grams ## Images ![Acquerello Aged Carnaroli Risotto Rice, 5.5 Lbs (2.5kg) | From Vercelli Province in Italy - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41aeGWpfU5L.jpg) ![Acquerello Aged Carnaroli Risotto Rice, 5.5 Lbs (2.5kg) | From Vercelli Province in Italy - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/313IwUMI6QL.jpg) ![Acquerello Aged Carnaroli Risotto Rice, 5.5 Lbs (2.5kg) | From Vercelli Province in Italy - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41VZYxmbqoL.jpg) ![Acquerello Aged Carnaroli Risotto Rice, 5.5 Lbs (2.5kg) | From Vercelli Province in Italy - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31FYb+4rcbL.jpg) ![Acquerello Aged Carnaroli Risotto Rice, 5.5 Lbs (2.5kg) | From Vercelli Province in Italy - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ogneltZ+L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How long has this rice been aged?** A: 2 Years minimum for ALL Acquerello rice.
