An exceptional Carnaroli for making perfect risotto is grown organically by the Rondolino family in the Piedmont region of Italy. Riso Acquerello is in a class by itself. This Cararoli is aged for at least a year to develop its structure, polished carefully so that grains remain perfectly whole, and marketed to a select number of stores and restaurants. The growers are dedicated not only to their rice but to the ecology of the fields, reintroducing dragonflies, carp, and other creatures to keep the natural balance. Salumeria Italiana is the only New England source for this wonderful product.
