Since the 16th century and at almost zero altitude, the farmers of Thessaloniki have been cultivating rice in the delta of the rivers Aliakmonas, Axios and Loudias, in the plain of Thessaloniki and in the coastal areas. Every year the indica variety is grown in alluvial fields, usually flooded with water, in brackish, clayey soils, under a warm climate with high relative humidity. The farms have a high water storage capacity and a pH of 6-6,5. Water for irrigation is drawn from the Aliakmonas, Axios, Loudias and Gallikos rivers. The relatively high levels of sunshine, particularly in September and October, favour good nutrition of the grains, which is important for their quality and nutritional value. The yellow rice (bonette) comes from the long-grain variety and, after processing (wet heat treatment), acquires its characteristic yellow colour.
