Hello, nice to meet you here!
How can we help you?
The Ebro Delta is a unique natural environment where rice has been much more than just a crop for centuries. Its presence not only shapes the landscape and local culture but also plays a crucial role in preserving biodiversity.
Rice fields, flooded for much of the year, become a temporary refuge for migratory birds and other species. This wet environment acts as a vital ecosystem that supports the reproduction and feeding of numerous species. Among them are birds like the flamingo, the grey heron, and the Kentish plover, which find in the rice fields a safe habitat to rest and feed during their long migrations.
Additionally, these wetlands are essential for the reproduction of amphibians such as the common frog and the natterjack toad, as well as for the proliferation of aquatic insects that form part of the diet of many birds, strengthening the food chain of the ecosystem.
Rice cultivation also protects the Delta’s soil from saltwater intrusion, a growing concern due to climate change and rising sea levels. By keeping the fields flooded, salinization is slowed, and soil fertility is preserved.
This controlled flooding system not only ensures rice production but also creates a favorable environment for microorganisms that contribute to soil regeneration and improve its structure. This allows the Ebro Delta to remain one of the most productive and sustainable agricultural areas in the Mediterranean.
Rice is not only a part of the Delta’s landscape but also of its cultural and culinary identity. Traditional recipes such as Montsià Rice seafood paella, black rice, or monkfish and prawn soupy rice showcase how this ingredient has become the heart of local cuisine.
Every dish made with Montsià Rice products reflects the effort and dedication of generations of farmers who have adapted to a changing environment while always respecting the natural balance of the Delta.
Every grain of rice that reaches your table is the result of efforts to preserve this unique territory. Enjoying Montsià Rice products also means contributing to the protection of the Delta and its rich wildlife.
With each harvest, we reaffirm our commitment to biodiversity, sustainability, and quality, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy this exceptional environment and outstanding rice.
Montsià Rice, the rice of the Delta. For the land, for life, for you.
