🏭 Traditional Stone Processing

Quality that begins with respect for every grain

After harvesting, the raw rice is carefully dried and naturally rested in silos for approximately 60 days. It is then processed using a slow and carefully controlled method that includes traditional stone processing.

This gentle technique protects every grain from unnecessary stress, preserving its natural nutritional value and authentic flavour far better than intensive industrial processing.

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

• Greater grain integrity
• Its natural structure
• Its nutritional qualities
• Its distinctive aroma

This results in rice that is:

• More authentic
• Naturally well balanced
• Rich in its original nutritional qualities

Throughout the process, the grain is handled with exceptional care, preserving the naturally attached germ, one of the most valuable nutritional components of the rice.
