Questions & Answers
I also agreed with your viewpoint. I'm from North Italy, where risotto can be made in a variety of delicious ways. This is a fantastic risotto. It has a one-year shelf life because it is vacuum sealed in the can. Rice that is only in cardboard boxes will not respond well to the long, reducing cooking process of traditional risotto, so I believe that any risotto that is vacuum sealed, even in vacuum sealed plastic bags, will be the best. The cost of all vacuum-sealed Arborio is higher; the bottom line is to try it and see what happens. I bought it again, and I look for vacuum-sealed risotto rice wherever I can. I'm not going to waste my money on boxed risotto.

I used Arborio rice when I first started making risotto, and it's a good rice. After experimenting with various rices over the years, I've come to prefer Carnaroli for risotto. If you enjoy risotto and have the chance to purchase Acquerello, do so. It's now the only risotto ingredient I buy and prepare. It absorbs the broth well and produces a creamy risotto. It's one of our go-to meals when we're in a funk. I just made some with homemade chicken broth, Italian herbs, and sun-dried tomatoes last night. tomato sauce that has been dried At the last minute, I added some grated Parmesan and browned chicken sausage to the top. It's wonderful. For two servings, I used about 2 2/3 cup broth and 1/2 cup rice. Thank you very much, Acquerello.
Last night, I used this product to make a saffron risotto. Risotto is a staple dish in our house that I make at least once a week, so I substituted this product for rice, and it is clearly superior to any other risotto I've ever tried. I didn't tell my family I was using a different rice, and when I inquired about it, they said it was always good. The texture and taste were clearly superior to mine, but they were ignored by the deaf palates in my home. At $13 per pound, I'm a pretty frugal person. compared to the $2 Beretta Aborio rice I buy. 25 lb. It's a hard pill to swallow, pun intended. Finally, I'll probably keep buying this product and saving it for when we have foodie guests over who will appreciate it more, or when I'm just cooking for myself, and I'll stick with the cheap stuff for our weekly family dinners.
For a gift, I crushed 99 cans of risotto. A $20 can that was supposed to be a Christmas present, but when I opened the box to wrap it, the can was completely crushed on one side. br>There was no way to return it.
I wasn't expecting to pay so much for such a small amount of product. Aside from price, this is the best risotto I've ever had.
I've previously attempted to make Arborio risotto. . . . This rice is not only good, but it is the king of risotto rices. Today I prepared a few. It's delicious. I would strongly suggest it.
Try looking for it in your local stores.
year- The same five-star rating as for the aged product. I award a 7 out of 10 rating. year- 1-year-old product receives the same five-star rating as the 1-year-old product. year's product because the results are, in my opinion, equally commendable. I must admit, though, that I couldn't tell the difference between the two results even with my palate. In the future, I plan to do a side-by-side comparison. A side-by-side comparison of two identical preparations, except for one. a year as opposed to seven years If my opinion changes over the course of the year, I'll post an update.
I've cooked with a lot of Arborios and Carnarolis, and this one just didn't have the same texture or flavor as the others.
