Paella rice is most common type of rice in Spain. 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.

One important property of Paella rice is its ability to absorb two or three times its volume in water without bursting and the grains of rice tend to hold their structure well after cooking. Its main characteristic is its great capacity to absorb flavours and aromas and that when cooked it is always “al dente”, loose and whole.
