Product 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 dallelica, 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 capacit di assorbimento dei condimenti. Sull1% della nostra riserva abbiamo esteso linvecchiamento fino a 7 anni, per ottenere un prodotto per le cucine pi esigenti. La gemma 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.
