Roberto Viazzo

The Viazzo Rice Mill in Tricerro is the essential link that completes the Ecorì supply chain. After cultivation and the harvesting and drying phases, the still-unhulled rice (called paddy) is sent to the rice mill for processing. The rice transformation process is crucial for ensuring the quality of the grains: after an initial phase, called hulling, brown rice is obtained, and subsequently, a more thorough milling process takes place, from which white rice (or polished rice) is obtained. To select the best grains and to prevent breakages and micro-fractures, which could jeopardize the quality of the rice, it is necessary to use professional, state-of-the-art machinery. The Viazzo Rice Mill is therefore the best partner Ecorì can rely on for rice processing: a cutting-edge industry, established at the beginning of the 20th century. The headquarters and offices in Tricerro, but above all the processing plants, were completely renovated about ten years ago, choosing Satake machines, among the top players in the rice processing market.
