Acquerello Rice is widely regarded as one of the world’s finest Carnaroli rices, produced on the historic Tenuta Colombara rice farm in Italy’s Piedmont region. It is prized by chefs for its exceptional ability to absorb flavour while maintaining a firm, creamy texture, making it a benchmark ingredient for risotto.

What sets Acquerello apart is its unique aging and processing method. The rice is aged for at least one year (and often longer) before being slowly refined in a patented process that carefully reintroduces the nutrient-rich germ back into the grain. This results in a rice that behaves like aged rice in cooking more stable, less likely to overcook, and with a superior al dente bite while retaining higher nutritional value than standard white rice.
