Novarroz Produtos Alimentares

About Novarroz: 

Novarroz is a Portuguese, family owned company, founded in 1979. However, the history of the family within the rice industry started before that, in the 60’s, with a small water mil by the river, with a traditional and rudimentary milling process.

With a clear strategy of continuous improvement, Novarroz has carried out several investments in its facilities during the past decades that currently put the company within the top leading European rice millers.

Novarroz is the biggest rice producer and exporter in Portugal, selling to over 60 countries in 4 continents. Our experience and constant pursuit of top quality is what made this success possible.

The process that ensures the finest rice quality begins at a very early stage, in the fields: Novarroz has long-term partnerships with the main Portuguese rice farmers, allowing us to select the highest quality seeds for each variety, and to carry a continuous auditing and monitoring of the complete process, from the sowing to the harvest.

At Novarroz we have a modern, vertical, state of the art mill. We use the most advanced Sortex technology, which allows us to consistently deliver the highest quality rice.

Being the quality our main focus and concern, Novarroz production method has BRC and IFS international certifications, awarded by SGS.

Over four decades after, the family behind Novarroz is now in the fourth generation and continues to work with the same passion and dedication as always.
