04/03/2016
- The Acquerello rice is unique in the whole world, it is work using the helix which gives the rice a delicate and slow movement, constricting the grains to rub between them and against the walls to obtain more brightness; in this way, the more precious nutritional elements (mineral salts, proteins and vitamins), don't get listen the flours, as happens in the other withening systems.
Nowadays it is the only "Extra" Rice, this denomination is allowed only to the rices which have defects lower than 1 relating to the standard made by the law and broken grains lower than 1,5% instead of 5%.
Moreover the Acquerello Rice is the first rice which ages in Italy, in fact it is conserved in the fresh stocks for a time as long as possible due to the fact that it hasn't already perfected the organoleptic qualities of the grain.
