Catala Bomba Rice, 1kg, Valencian Short-Grain Rice, Perfect for Paella or Risotto Reviews

4.9 Rating 104 Reviews
Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Bomba rice, a short and rounded grain from the Japonica rice family, is a popular choice for paella and risotto-style dishes. Originating from the Mediterranean region, this rice absorbs liquid and retains the flavour of stock without breaking up or caking. Its unique properties make it the 'king rice' for these dishes, despite the care it requires. Our bomba rice is carefully prepared by Hijos de Vicente Catala Peiro, a family business in Valencia and one of the oldest in the sector.

“Absolutely perfect paella rice. The top quality makes such a difference. Real Bomba has that great slightly toasted taste and takes on the flavors perfectly without breaking down. Good price too.”

“This rice is like no other I have ever tried. Small but plump creamy grains that hold up well in so many dishes. It is now a firm favourite and staple in our store cupboard”
