Short-grain rice is the most common type of rice in Spain. Also known as paella rice, this type of short and rounded rice is especially selected from varieties such as bahia and senia which originate in Valencia. It is only the best selected grains that can offer the best paella and rice dishes. This type of grain has the characteristic of absorbing more than other types of rice, the flavours of the stock in which it is cooked, making it the ideal type of rice for cooking the perfect paella. This peculiarity allows you to save the starch, so it always comes loose, without caking, making it the king rice for perfect paella or risotto style dishes. Our paella rice is carefully prepared by Hijos de Vicente Catala Peiro, a family business located in Valencia and one of the oldest companies in its sector. The company's beginnings were in the late 19th century, and its current owners represent the fifth generation to run the business. Its main feature is the great care and attention they take when preparing paella rice, whilst achieving maximum quality in all their products, backed by many years of experience. 5kg Bag / Once opened store in a cool and dry place / Serves 40 to 50 people

Cooked a Paella for 110 and worked perfect, the Rice held it's shape and still served well after it had been sat there for 30 minutes.

Wonderful quality paella rice! It arrives in good time for a family paella! The 5kg bag is great on the packaging front! No nasty plastic wrappers!

First of all, there is something very pleasing about the packaging (call me shallow!) It's the sort of thing that you really don't want to throw away. The rice itself is very good. I have made a couple of vegetarian paella dishes and have been very pleased with the results. Definitely not a one time purchase.

Have bought my paella rice and ingredients from Basco for the last 2 years and the quality and prices have been very good. I have no reason whatsoever to buy from elsewhere.
