5 sisters, 5 women, 1 story connected to their homeland.
Micronatural: we bio-control fungal diseases thanks to an innovative technique: a mix of Effective Microorganisms (from Japan) and Rocks Dust(from Austria) that keep the fields healthy without using any chemicals.
Farming 4.0 it's the combination of Precision farming combined with the Internet of Farming, based on the harmonious and interconnected use of different technologies. Only 1% of Italian farmers adopt these techniques, and we are proudly one of them.
Aging: to get a perfect result after cooking and maintain the highest level of nutrients , our rice is aged in its hulls for one year.
Low temperature drying: the rice is dried at low temperature to avoid breaking grains and preserve its integrity. Furthermore, the dryer works on GNL (untreated liquefied natural gas), so we guarantee any presence of hydrocarbon residues on our rice.
Sustainability: we respect the natural cycles of the crops by resting the soil with rotation and following the lunar cycles. The rice will be reseed in the same soil only after 2 or 3 years of stop, to allow the ground to regenerate its nutritional properties.
