Classic Carnaroli Rice 1kg

The Classic Carnaroli Rice is handcrafted in the workshop of the Ferron brothers in Isola della Scala and grown in the lower Verona area thanks to the collaboration of specialized farms.

Fundamental elements: biologically pure waters; medium-textured soils with sandy grain, allowing for quick drainage; control of yields in relation to quality.

The story of Ferron is a story of "pilots", not of those in motorsport. The Pilots were the workers in the rice transformation piles turning paddy into polished rice for sale. It is said that the first of the family was the great-grandfather of Gabriele, Luigi Zecchetto, who oversaw numerous piles in the area of Isola della Scala in the province of Verona. One of his daughters married Marcello Ferron, who continued his father-in-law's work and then passed the passion and knowledge to his son Lionello and to his nephews Gabriele and Maurizio, the current managers of the rice mill. Gabriele has felt a strong passion for cooking since he was 14 years old and began working for numerous restaurants in the city of Verona. Subsequently, he returned to the family business specializing in rice-based dishes. Gabriele is the only chef in history who has cooked a risotto on the Great Wall of China in 1997. Since 1991, he has been a Knight of Labor of the Republic. He stands out as the biggest promoter of Vialone Nano Veronese rice in the world. He has cooked for Casa Italia during the Olympics in Beijing. In 2004, Gabriele was recognized as an Ambassador of rice in the world. Today he remains an tireless globetrotter of rice with a great desire to live and smile at life!
