Acquerello Rice, Aged Carnaroli 2.5 kg Tin

Acquerello rice is a premium aged Carnaroli rice from Piedmont, famous among chefs for risottos that stay creamy yet firm. The rice is aged before milling, which helps the grains absorb flavour and keep their shape. This 2.5 kg tin is made for restaurants and serious risotto lovers.

Frequently asked questions

What makes Acquerello rice special?

It is Carnaroli rice that is aged before milling, a process the producer uses to give firmer grains that absorb flavour well and stay al dente in risotto.

Do I need to rinse it before cooking a risotto?

No. For risotto, the surface starch is what makes it creamy, so Italian risotto rice is not rinsed.

How much acquerello rice per person?

As a guide, allow about 70-90 g of uncooked rice per person for a risotto main course.

Which Italian rice is best for risotto?

Carnaroli and Arborio are the classic choices. Carnaroli stays firmer and is often preferred by chefs, while Arborio gives a softer, creamier result.
