Why is Acquerello rice aged?

The ageing process improves the structure of the grains, allowing them to absorb more liquid and flavour while staying firm during cooking.

What makes carnaroli rice different from arborio rice?

Carnaroli rice has longer, firmer grains that hold their shape better than arborio, making it the preferred choice for creamy, al dente risottos.

Can Acquerello rice be used for dishes other than risotto?

Yes, it works well in rice salads, side dishes, or any recipe where a firm, flavour-absorbing grain is desired.
