Acquerello rice is the only white rice in the world that is processed in a way that enriches the grains with its nutrient-rich germ, giving it a structure that can absorb more liquid when cooking as well as retaining a high nutritional value.   

This amazing rice, which is sometimes aged for up to three years, is best used in paella, risotto or arancini, but can also be a great ingredient in cold rice salads. The vacuum tin is ideal to keep the rice fresh, and makes it easy to store.
