🏭 Traditional Stone Processing

Quality that begins with respect for the grain

After harvesting, the raw rice is carefully dried and naturally rested in silos for approximately 60 days. It is then transferred to the rice mill, where it undergoes a slow and carefully controlled processing method that includes traditional stone processing.

This gentle technique treats each grain with great care, preserving its natural qualities far better than intensive industrial processing.

The rice undergoes only a limited number of processing stages, helping to preserve:

• Greater grain integrity
• Its natural structure
• Its delicate aroma

This results in rice that is:
