Baldo and Rosa Marchetti, native Italians, founded in 1964, or Ribe, founded in 1961, separated according to availability of our farmers and as stated on the ID card. Sensory properties and cooking times are similar. Italian seeds sown in April, May and June. The cultivation is carried out according to organic regulations and crop rotation is practiced with wheat, corn, soy and alfalfa. Fertilisation is carried out exclusively with organic fertilisation (green manure with vetch) and superficial tillage with harrows and plows. Weed control is carried out using manual weeds, mechanical means and incorrect seed technology. The treatments are only carried out if necessary and according to organic regulation. The average yield is 4 tons per hectare. The flooding is carried out with water from resurgences, from the irrigation consortium and from Ticino. Harvesting takes place in October with combine harvesters. The stubble is crushed and buried in the field. After drying with hot air, the rice is delivered to the rice mill and stored in special silos. This is followed by mechanical cleaning to eliminate impurities, peeling with a roller machine to remove shells, bleaching with a stone machine and an optical sorter, packaging in a modified atmosphere.
