500g Acquerello Carnaroli Rice

Acquerello aged carnaroli rice is the favourite rice of top chefs, like Alain Ducasse and Heston Blumenthal. As well as keeping the rice fresh, the tin is also easy to store – so you can always have this spectacular rice to hand. The secret to Acquerello’s coveted status as the ‘Rolls-Royce’ of rice is the aging process it undergoes. The freshly harvested grains are aged for 1-3 years in controlled conditions. The aging improves the overall consistency of the rice, enabling it to absorb more liquid during cooking whilst retaining its structure. The result is plump, tender grains, that don’t stick together and burst with flavour. Use Acquerello aged carnaroli rice to make the best risotto you’ve ever had. This truly special rice also makes a stunning paella, as well as cold rice salads or even arancini. The unique vacuum-sealed and enamelled tins keep the rice in top condition for a long time. The superfine carnaroli rice is produced by the Rondolino family in Piedmont, Italy. The Rondolino family have been growing rice since 1935. In the year 2000, the family decided to dedicate themselves to growing only one variety of rice – carnaroli, Italy’s most highly valued rice for making risotto. Ingredients: rice.
