This is your chance to try Acquerello rice.

This special food dates back to the time of great Chinese rulers and an ancient tradition brought back to light by the Rondolino family two thousand years later. The deep knowledge of rice comes from practical experience under Emperor rule, when men would gather three years of harvest because the Emperor could not possibly be left without, discovering that the properties of the rice improved with age.

Piero Rondolino went one step further and found that rice is at its best after 7 years. This is how long the "Emperor's rice" spends on Colombara, the Seventeenth Century holding in Piedmont, Italy, to make it firmer and fully imbued with scent and flavor.
Acquerello 7 Years is an excellence in cooking, recognized by top restaurants and demanding and refined palates everywhere.

The Cause

COMETA is made up of a group of families committed to helping children and young adults and their families to allow them to appreciate the beauty of life.

It all started in 1986: out of a positive meeting came the willingness to foster a child. In 1992, an old farmhouse just outside Como became a community center. Over time, a network has grown of over 50 foster families who have opened their hearts and shared the Cometa experience. Every day after school more than one hundred children and young adults in the area find a team of Cometa teachers and educators who help them study and provide expressive, recreational and sports activities promoting support and growth.
