Our Originario rice grown in the Sibari Plain is a variety with small, round grains, characterized by a crystal-like color and a firm texture.

Cultivated just 1.9 km from the sea, at the foot of the Pollino Massif, it benefits from a unique microclimate: sea breezes provide the right level of humidity, the Calabrian sun offers about 30% more daylight hours compared to Northern Italy’s rice fields, and the brackish soil helps develop a savory and bold aromatic profile.

The result is a full-bodied, balanced, and naturally savory rice that adapts to many different preparations thanks to its high absorption capacity.

Processing with static horizontal drying preserves the integrity of the grain, reducing breakage and micro-cracks. The light milling makes it less “white” than industrial rice, a sign of a less aggressive and more quality-respecting process.
