La storia di Riso I Ferrari

The history of Riso I Ferrari

OVER 50 YEARS OF HISTORY….

OUR EXCELLENCE STARTS FROM TRADITION

The history of "iFerrari" has its roots in the experience and peasant tenacity of Angelo Mario Ferrari, an award-winning rice grower for more than 50 years as a producer of certified seed rice grown in Sardinia. Angelo Mario Ferrari's company was born when, after working with his father Giovanni, a farmer from Brescia who arrived in Sardinia to cultivate the land, he decided to start his own business by purchasing the Pinna Manna agricultural estate in the Oristano plain, with land overlooking the Gulf, an area particularly suited to rice cultivation thanks to its climatic conditions: «It's all thanks to the mild climate, the sun and the mistral wind that sweeps the rice fields and helps keep the plants clean, reducing diseases» explains Angelo Mario.
In 1978 he became co-founder of the Sardo Piemontese Sementi (Sapise) Cooperative, leader in Italy in the sector and award-winning for rice seeds, with which the iFerrari Company still works, continuing with a high quality standard.

Artemide è un riso nero, integrale, aromatico, profumato e ricco di antociani, antiossidanti della famiglia dei flavonoidi. Ermes è un riso rosso integrale ed aromatico, come il riso nero anch’esso ricco di antociani.
