Italy grows some of the finest rice in the world. From black rice to white and the varieties in between, the flavor and the resulting dish can, when cooked with Italian rice, be the best on the planet.

Acquerello il Riso Carnaroli has been around in our food world “forever”. One of the first of the slow food “movement” foods, Acquerello il Riso Carnaroli was awarded the “Snail of Approval” in 1986. Taking a year to produce, the rice undergoes the steps of aging, refining in a special process and enriching with its own germ. The result is tastier, richer and healthier. (Their words and we agree.)

The rice is in a vacuumed sealed can and this might be the most important feature of this delicious rice, at a minimum ensuring the flavor profile the maker has intended.
