AZIENDA FALCHI SOCIETA SEMPLICE AGRICOLA

Our company’s roots run deep into our ancient history, dating back to a 1792 document officially recording Sisinnio Falchi as “...farmer and breeder...”, later to also become public notary for the town of Oristano.
His son Vincenzo – and many family members thereafter – devoted his life to developing the family business. After him, his son Giovannico - a pioneering entrepreneur who was knighted for his major contributions to the country’s economy - extended the firm’s output from farming proper to the inclusion of
industrial processing and food preserves retail.
After his passing in 1933, the large firm was handed down to his seven children, and just like nowadays, the honour befell a determined manager, Marietta Falchi, to successfully run the family firm.
Following the second world war, the firm’s new generations set their minds on improving and innovating the agricultural practices, introducing new machinery and developing technologies.
The real turning point came with Antonio who, armed with a Degree in Agriculture at Pisa in 1952, reformed the firm’s production priorities by shifting them mainly towards rice cultivation. And today, it is Antonio’s daughters, Maura,
Elisabetta, Cristina and Paola – together with mamma Rosanna – who carry the family tradition into its sixth generation.
With doctor agronomist Elisabetta at the helm, the Azienda Agricola Falchi produces our traditional Italian rice, as well as the innovative coloured and aromatic, non-OGM seeds varieties by R&D SAPISE.
Our product is rigorously certified by Ente Nazionale Risi and by CREA, and is grown with the environment at heart. We treat our soil, our air and our water like the vital elements they are. Keeping them intact ensures that we maintain essential ecological functions, to protect and preserve them for our future
generations.

Venere rice was created by a conventional crossbreed (no OGM) between a variety of Asian black rice and a variety of Padan rice. Venere rice presents a small and scented grain, with an aroma that reminds of freshly baked bread, typical of oriental rices. The colour of the grain is ebony. The dark pigmentation of the finished product is due to the antioxidant metabolites. The final product is wholegrain rice that is rich in nutrients, and an important source of fiber.



Red aromatic Ermes rice was obtained in Italy by crossbreeding the Venere wholegrain variety with an elongated grain variety. Ermes was obtained via organic techniques exclusively (no OGM). Red Ermes rice is healthy and nutritious, with a delicate flavour. It is particularly enjoyable with a simple dressing of extra-virgin olive oil, but also as a cold rice salad with steamed or fresh vegetables, or with sea food. Ermes is a wholegrain rice so it is rich in fibers, vitamins, minerals, salts, iron, with great antioxidant properties.



Carnaroli rice is a white rice particulary suitable for risotto (no OGM), has a large and consistent grain, with lateral beading, is characterized by low stickiness, excellent sealing properties of the cooking and ability to absorb the condiments, this variety was made to be more resilient to plant diseases, and to be grown in an environmentally friendly way. The Carnaroli is a rice of great quality and therefore suitable for the best preparations typical of Italian cuisine.



Apollo rice is aromatic and extra thin. It was obtained from the breeding of an Asian aromatic rice with an Italian rice, by way of manual techniques alone (no OGM). Apollo is a valid alternative to classic white rice. It cooks very rapidly and it is easy to prepare. Thanks to its natural flavour, it is excellent boiled or steamed, but also pan-fried and accompanied with vegetables, meat or fish. Apollo is at the same time incomparably versatile and qualitatively outstanding.
