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. 1kg Bag / Once opened store in a cool and dry place / Serves 8 to 10 people

Great paella rice with good bite. I usually buy Bomba rice from the supermarket but this held its shape better and was yummy! Cool sack packaging too.

Makes your paella much more tasty. Comes in a lovely bag too - great for a gift. You could make up your own hampers for gifts. We also bought various sausages and cheese from Basco to compliment the dish. Also, the delivery was fast and well packaged with mini sealed ice strips to keep the food fresh. I bought this as part of a selection of meats and cheeses for my husbands birthday and he absolutely loved it. We would both highly recommend Basco for their excellent service.

Was extremely tasty in a seafood paella that i made! Really soft fluffy rice, and the little sack that it comes in looks nice in the pantry!

I was so thrilled when I opened my beautifully and carefully packed box of food I had ordered from Basco. I really wasn't expecting anything like this. The rice in lovely cloth bags, entirely authentic in every way. I have just cooked with it today and it was superlative. I am so pleased and will be ordering more. What a boost in these hard times, thank you so much. And also thank you for being so helpful and professional when I called you with a query.
