Acquerello is widely regarded as one of the world’s finest risotto rices. Grown, aged and packed at the historic Tenuta Colombara estate in Piedmont, Italy, it is made exclusively from premium Carnaroli rice – the variety prized by chefs for creating perfectly creamy risotto with beautifully firm, separate grains. The rice is aged for at least one year before milling, allowing the starch to stabilise for exceptional cooking performance and enhanced flavour. A unique patented process then reintegrates the nutrient-rich germ back into each grain, combining the nutritional benefits of wholegrain rice with the cooking qualities of white rice.
Ideal for classic risotto, Acquerello also excels in arancini, rice salads and refined rice dishes where texture and flavour truly matter. Its remarkable ability to absorb stock and seasonings while maintaining an al dente bite has made it the preferred choice of Michelin-starred chefs around the world.
