| Description | A variety of red rice cultivated by Cascina Oschiena in Piemonte, with a red colour and an intense aroma |

| Appearance | The grain is slim and has an intense red colour, thanks to the presence of anthocyanins, which give the rice this natural colouring |
| Taste | With a distinct yet delicate aroma, it is reminiscent of the flavour of freshly baked bread |
| Curiosity | Thanks to its high antioxidant, fibre, protein and mineral salt content, this rice is ideal for those looking for products suitable for a healthy diet |
| Our selection | This rice is cultivated using integrated production techniques: a guarantee of high-quality production and environmental protection. Cascina Oschiena has obtained EU recognition as a Special Protection Area and, since 2019, has become a Nature Reserve thanks to the conversion of 25 hectares previously dedicated to rice cultivation into wetlands for the protection and enhancement of biodiversity |

Why we chose them
Cascina Oschiena is a historic rice farm that has been run since 2008 by Alice and Simone, a couple both in business and in life. They run their rice
farm with passion and dedication. Alice has learnt to sow and cultivate rice, to drive the tractor and to work the land, whilst Simone, an
environmental chemist, plays a key role in selecting cultivation techniques to reduce the use of fertilisers and pesticides: indeed, all Cascina
Oschiena rice is guaranteed to be residue-free. The farmstead has been renovated, whilst striving to respect the architecture of yesteryear: the
drying shed and silos have been harmoniously integrated into the farmstead, whilst the stable for draught horses has been converted into a storage
area for tractors and agricultural equipment. The farm covers 109 hectares, 25 of which were converted into a nature reserve in 2018: the Pittima
Reale Natural Oasis is one of the largest private wetlands in Europe created through the conversion of agricultural land; if we add the 6.5 hectares
of woodland, we can say that today around 30% of the farm's land has been returned to the environment and dedicated to biodiversity, whilst 70% is
used for rice cultivation.
