Acquerello

Riso Acquerello is a premium Italian rice that combines culinary excellence with a strong focus on nutrition and well-being. Produced at Tenuta Colombara in Livorno Ferraris, in the Piemonte region, it represents an innovative approach to healthy eating while respecting traditional rice cultivation. Acquerello is made from the Carnaroli variety, known for its large grains and natural ability to create creamy, perfectly textured risotto. What truly sets this rice apart, however, is its unique and patented production method designed to preserve its nutritional value. During the processing of rice, the most nutritious part of the grain—the germ—is normally removed. This small component is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients, which is why whole grain rice is usually considered healthier than white rice. Acquerello solves this challenge through an innovative patented technique: after the rice is gently refined, the germ is carefully reintegrated back into the grain. This process allows Acquerello to maintain the nutritional benefits typically associated with whole grain rice, while keeping the texture, cooking performance, and visual appeal of white rice. The result is a product that offers the best of both worlds: the lightness and versatility of white rice combined with the valuable nutrients of whole rice. For consumers interested in wellness, balanced diets, and high-quality ingredients, Acquerello represents a modern way to enjoy rice without compromising on nutrition. At a food and wellness event, Acquerello stands as an example of how innovation in food production can transform a traditional ingredient into a smart, nutritious, and premium product for contemporary lifestyles.
