 he Vialone Nano variety of rice was first created by the Vercelli Rice Experimental Station. The rice began to be cultivated in 1937 and was introduced to the province of Verona in 1945. Of the more than 24 varieties of rice grown in Italy, Vialone Nano is chronologically the second oldest after Balilla. The soils around Verona proved to be particularly well suited for Vialone Nano which became ever more widespread and is now the chosen variety for ninety per cent of paddy fields in the region. The IGP certification for Riso Vialone Nano Veronese refers exclusively to rice obtained from seeds carefully selected from the Japonica strain of the Vialone Nano variety. The rice comes into season slightly early, the plant is medium-tall and the rice grains are fine, muticous and pearly. Although the processing of the rice is carried out using highly advanced technological means, the procedures remain essentially simple and straightforward, and the final product that is sold to the consumer has not undergone any chemical treatment or other form of manipulation. The rice may be cultivated only within the delimited area which enjoys a uniform climate conducive to growth. The zone is also supplied with plentiful springs of pure sweet water. This hydrological feature allows the practice of crop rotation which considerably reduces both the need for and use of chemical fertilisers. The area of production includes numerous town districts in the province of Verona.
