Aquerello Carnaroli rice is a marriage of the best qualities of white rice with the nutritional prowess of brown rice. What sets it apart is the mechanical processing method, a long and gentle aging and the innovative process of re-integrating the germ.
The long aging improves the texture of the grains, which allows them to absorb more liquid – a prized quality in risotto rice. The processing method is gentle and mechanical, never using any chemicals for whitening. This rice method, the gold standard, is only used by the Rondolino family. Reintegrating the rice’s own germ is a crucial step; the germ contains all the nutrients of rice, and is what makes rice healthy, and is what usually is missing from white rice. The result is a white rice that’s ideal for risotto, but with the full nutritional qualities of brown rice.
This particular Invechiatto rice is aged for 7 years, and is the prized jewel of risotto rice. The aging in temperature-controlled silos stabilizes the starch and deepens the flavor, making for the easiest to cook, most flavorful risotto you’ve ever tasted.
The rice is produced in the gorgeous Tenuta Colombrara, where rice has been grown for over 500 years. The soil’s natural fertility and the water’s purity makes it an ideal location for growing this premium carnaroli.
