Vacuum-sealed in unique tins, it delivers consistent, whole grains with superior texture and enhanced nutrition, making it the go-to choice for discerning chefs and food lovers seeking authentic Italian excellence. ## Description Grown, harvested and packed at Tenuta Colombara. Processing Technique: Only the rice grains that pass the 20 processing and selection steps become Acquerello. One of them is the helix, still considered the best method for rice whitening: rice grains rub one against the other, avoiding any damage. Aging: Starch is stabilized, thus the rice grain will release less starch during cooking and will increase liquid absorption. Germ is the vital part of a rice grain. It contains most of the vitamins and micronutrients of rice. During whitening the germ separates from the rice grain, but thanks to a patented process we are able to restore it within the grain, enhancing its nutritional values. Lavorazione: Sono necessari 20 delicati passaggi per arrivare ad ottenere riso Acquerello. A partire dall’elica, ancora oggi considerata il miglior metodo per sbiancare il riso attraverso lo sfregamento dei chicchi. Invecchiamento: Il riso grezzo viene fatto invecchiare almeno un anno in silos a temperatura controllata inferiore ai 15. L'amido si stabilizza e durante la cottura si disperde meno, ogni singolo chicco aumenta la capacità di assorbimento dei condimenti. Sull’1% della nostra riserva abbiamo esteso l’invecchiamento fino a 7 anni, per ottenere un prodotto per le cucine più esigenti. La gemma è la parte vitale del riso, e contiene la maggioranza delle vitamine e dei microelementi. Durante la lavorazione la gemma viene separata dal chicco, ma grazie ad un procedimento brevettato in Acquerello viene reintegrata. Per unire il gusto del riso bianco con gli elementi nutritivi del riso integrale. Review: Awesome results every time - This is the best long grain risotto rice I have ever used.. price is obviously high compared to what most are accustomed to but honestly no one is going to age a food product in Italy for 7 years without adding a decent amount to the end price, and with this I actually felt like I got what I paid for as the texture is awesome every time i make risotto with it,.. witch is kinda impressive since I'm not a perfect cook and this is a longer grain rice as opposed to Nano variety which is usually what i resort to using when I need to prepare a very tender risotto. Review: Delicious. - I don't know if it's worth the price, but it sure is delish! Makes killer risotto. Doesn't turn to mush. ## Features - Price per one 17.6 Can - Aged for 7 years - Acquerello is packed in unique vacuum-sealed tins to preserve its quality - Acquerello grains are perfectly whole, fully consistent, tastier and not sticky. - Product of Italy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00BGGGLXM | | Best Sellers Rank | #105,113 in Grocery ( See Top 100 in Grocery ) #434 in White Rice | | Brand | Acquerello | | Brand Name | Acquerello | | Container Type | Can | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 79 Reviews | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.59 Kilograms | | Item package quantity | 1 | | Manufacturer | Acquerello | | Package weight | 0.59 Kilograms | | Size | 1.1 Pound (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 801277800146 | | Unit Count | 520.49 Milliliters | | Unit count | 520.49 Milliliters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Acquerello - **Item package quantity:** 1 - **Package weight:** 0.59 Kilograms - **UPC:** 801277800146 - **Unit count:** 520.49 Milliliters ## Images ![Acquerello Italian 7 Year Aged Risotto Rice 17.6 Oz Tin - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KaIdUSPwL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: The 7-year aged rice is so much more expensive. is it really worth the price?** A: I shared your thoughts as well. I am of North Italian heritage where risotto is prepared in a variety of marvellous ways. This is an excellent risotto. It is vacuum sealed in the can and ages one year. I think that any risotto that is vacuum sealed, even in vacuum sealed plastic bags will be the best. Rice that is only in cardboard boxes will not respond well to the long, reducing cooking process of traditional risotto. All vacuum sealed Arborio is more expensive. Bottom line: try it and evaluate the results! I bought it again and I buy vacuum sealed risotto rices wherever I can find them. I do not waste my money on dry risotto from a box. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome results every time *by K***. on 18 April 2024* This is the best long grain risotto rice I have ever used.. price is obviously high compared to what most are accustomed to but honestly no one is going to age a food product in Italy for 7 years without adding a decent amount to the end price, and with this I actually felt like I got what I paid for as the texture is awesome every time i make risotto with it,.. witch is kinda impressive since I'm not a perfect cook and this is a longer grain rice as opposed to Nano variety which is usually what i resort to using when I need to prepare a very tender risotto. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Delicious. *by V***G on 29 October 2025* I don't know if it's worth the price, but it sure is delish! Makes killer risotto. Doesn't turn to mush. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pricey but worth is for those that can appreciate *by B***G on 2 September 2015* Just made a saffron risotto with this product last evening. Risotto is a staple dish in our house that I make at least once per week so I used this product instead of my usual rice. For me it is clearly a superior product then any other risotto I have ever used. I didn't tell my family that I was using a different rice and I asked them how it was and they indicated that it was good always. For me the texture and taste were clearly superior but those elements fell on deaf palates within my house. Being a fairly frugal individual, at $13 lb. versus the Beretta Aborio rice I get for around $2.25 lb. it is tough to swallow, pun intended. In conclusion, I will likely continue to purchase this product and save it for when we have foodie guests over that can better appreciate it or when I'm just cooking for myself and will continue to use the cheap stuff for the weekly family dinners. ## Frequently Bought Together - Acquerello Italian 7 Year Aged Risotto Rice 17.6 Oz Tin - Acquerello Italian Carnaroli Aged Risotto Rice in Tin Can, 2.2 Lbs (1kg) | From Vercelli Province in Italy - Acquerello Aged Carnaroli Risotto Rice, 5.5 Lbs (2.5kg) | From Vercelli Province in Italy --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/601703411-acquerello-italian-7-year-aged-risotto-rice-17-6-oz](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/601703411-acquerello-italian-7-year-aged-risotto-rice-17-6-oz) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
