The uncontaminated soul of the Maremma in a whole grain, dedicated to the visionary who saw everything first

Tenuta San Carlo Achille Whole Grain Carnaroli Rice

Achille Organic Brown Carnaroli Rice is Tenuta San Carlo's first whole grain Carnaroli rice: grown in Maremma according to certified organic methods and handcrafted in stone mills, it preserves the large grain of the king of rice in its entirety, with its entire outer layer and a bold, full, wild flavor. It's perfect for salads and soups, or as a first course simply drizzled with a good olive oil: savoring it brings out the soul of the Maremma, uncontaminated and natural. Slow and generous cooking, 40-45 minutes, rewards with a firm and satisfying texture. The name on the package is that of Achille, the great-grandfather: the founder, the origin of everything.
 
 
 

The roots of this Wholemeal Carnaroli are deep in tradition

Visionary. Engineer. Great-grandfather. In 1936, when Maremma was still synonymous with swamps, mosquitoes, and frontiers, Achille Gaggia—who came from the northeast—looked at those expanses of water and reed beds and perceived what no one else saw: the uniqueness of this place. It was a time when all of Italy regarded land reclamation as the great undertaking of the century, but Achille brought the vision of an engineer and the heart of a pioneer, founding Tenuta San Carlo and planting the seeds of four generations. Dedicating wholegrain Carnaroli to him—rice in its most authentic and least domesticated form—is a perfect tribute: like the Maremma he chose, this grain retains its wild nature intact.
 
 
 

Choosing Achille Brown Carnaroli Rice means taking care of yourself

Whole grain Carnaroli combines the nobility of the king of rice with the richness of the whole grain: precious fiber for satiety and intestinal regularity, B vitamins, magnesium, phosphorus, and the antioxidant compounds of the pericarp, which are lost during refining. Its lower glycemic index compared to white rice provides gradual and constant energy, and it is naturally gluten-free. Stone-ground processing treats the grain with respect, while the certified organic supply chain of the Maremma—with its rotations of legumes and ancient grains that nourish the soil—guarantees clean rice, free from harmful chemicals. A wholesome diet, in the fullest sense of the word.
 
 
 

How to Best Use: Achille Organic Brown Carnaroli Rice

• SUMMER BROWN RICE SALAD – The large grain remains separate and firm even when cold: season it with Organic Black Eggplants grills and Organic Sheep's First Salt: a rustic, Mediterranean rice salad that's truly filling.
• THE SOUP THAT WARMS THE MAREMMA – The strong flavour can withstand long cooking: add it to the Organic Red Lentils and in strips of Green Cabbage for a complete peasant soup, cereal and legume in the same pot.
• THE SIMPLE DISH, JUST AS GREAT-GRANDFATHER WANTED IT – The acid test of a great rice: boil it and season it with just a drizzle of Novello Stone Ground Extra Virgin Olive Oil raw and, for those who love toasted aromas, a few drops of Sweet almond oil: the soul of the Maremma, unfiltered.
