The production of rice in the Veneto plains is ancient and linked to the great presence of clear waters from natural springs and ditches that feed old rice mills with wooden waterwheels. This is where the production of Vialone Nano Rice begins. It is a semi-fine rice that is increasingly considered the progenitor of risotto rice. The grain contains three starch granules that characterize its ideal suitability for the production of so-called "wave" risottos and, in any case, creamy ones. The grain has a medium size, round to medium-long shape, with a pronounced tooth, stout head, and rounded cross-section. It should appear white, without stripes, and present an extended central "pearl".
The story of Ferron is a story of "pilots," not those of motorsport. The Pilots were the workers in the rice transformation piles, turning brown rice into polished rice for sale. It is said that the first of the family was Gabriele's great-grandfather, Luigi Zecchetto, who oversaw numerous piles in the area of Isola della Scala in the province of Verona. One of his daughters married Marcello Ferron, who continued his father-in-law's work and then passed on the passion and knowledge to his son Lionello and to his grandchildren Gabriele and Maurizio, the current managers of the rice mill. Gabriele has felt a strong passion for cooking since he was 14 years old and began working for numerous restaurants in the city of Verona. He later returned to the family business, specializing in rice-based dishes. Gabriele is the only chef in history to have cooked risotto on the Great Wall of China in 1997. Since 1991, he has been a Knight of Labor of the Republic. He stands out as the greatest promoter of Vialone Nano Veronese rice in the world. He has cooked for Casa Italia during the Olympics in Beijing. In 2004, Gabriele was recognized as an Ambassador of rice in the world. Today he remains an tireless rice globetrotter with a great desire to live and smile at life! Rice in a bag.
