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.

“Perfect for paella, I’ve tried rice from supermarkets then discovered bombs rice which is not sold in my local shops. Having tried this rice I will never use anything else now. A little more expensive than the supermarket rice but worth every penny”

“This short grained rice from Valencia delivers a high quality product that is quintessentially Spanish; its firm consistency absorbs flavour and colour without degrading the structure of the grains. Equally suitable for rice puddings this rice knows no equal.”

“Five stars for the packaging. No plastic! Not cooked with it yet so don't know how it compares to the rice I normally buy when I am in Spain,.”
