Rice is a family passion
An authentic tale that has deep and distant roots.
Respect for the environment, people, good food and quality of life are the basis of our work. A passion transmitted with enthusiasm from father to son and nurtured by the generosity and charm of the plains in the South of Verona, where nature has lavished clear water and precious substances in abundance for growing rice. Special care and attention paid to cultivation and processing make Melotti Rice an excellent rice, in particular the prized Riso Vialone Nano Veronese.

Over the years, the skillful work of the farmers has ensured that the special features of this territory, 20-km far from Verona southwards, has remained intact untill today.
