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

4.9 Rating 102 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.

“This is most definitely the best paella rice you can buy on the Market 60g per person is ample portion and it comes in the most lovely packaging I tie the top with a ribbon. Because l love the packaging. Lovely absorption and gives a nice nice nutty toasted bottom to a proper paella.”

“Best paella rice I've ever used without a doubt! I used to be so pleased that it was easy and accessible to pick up Bomba rice from my local Waitrose, but this outdoes it in quality and doesn't compare. I'll be ordering from here in future, many thanks!”
