Producer: Ferron

Product: Vialone Nano Risotto Rice

Region: Isola della Scala, Verona, Veneto

Producer Info:
Ferron is a 4th generation family run company located in picturesque Isola della Scala, Verona. In the mid-70s, Ferron recognised that mass production of inferior rice would lead to extinction of two exceptional Veronese rice varieties, Carnaroli and Vialone. This lead to the establishment of a consortium of rice growers in the Isola della Scala valley to protect these delicate species.

Ferron’s Pila Vecia (“old mill”) has a history originating in 1656 although it has only been owned by Ferron since 1921. A canal called the Fossa Zenobia runs under the Pila Vecia. The water turns the original seven-metre paddle wheel, which provides the energy for a series of centuries-old pestelli (wooden poles with marble tips) which gently work up and down to crush whole grains of rice and remove the outer husks.

Ferron rice is organic and grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides. In non-planting years, corn and medicinal herbs are cultivated to replenish the soil with essential nutrients. Water from pure and unpolluted underground springs encourages pristine crop growth. The rice paddies are home to carp fish, providing a natural pest control and delicate ecosystem where rice can flourish.

Tasting note:
Vialone Nano is the most popular variety of rice in Veneto due to it’s texture and subtle herbaceous flavour. The grains are short and rounded; natural starches on the grains produce a perfect cream when cooked. This is the perfect multipurpose risotto rice, it lends it’s self to a wide range of flavourings. This rice can be used in any risotto recipe. Try it in your favourite.
