Read Basco Fine Foods Reviews

Short-grain rice, also known as paella rice, is the most common type in Spain. Selected from varieties such as bahia and senia, this short and rounded rice is ideal for cooking perfect paella and rice dishes. Its ability to absorb more flavors makes it the 'king rice' for such dishes. Carefully prepared by Hijos de Vicente Catala Peiro, a Valencian family business and one of the oldest in its sector since the late 19th century.

“We’ve used this for paella and arroz negro and it’s brilliant. You can get the perfect “crusty bottom” without drying out the rice above.”

“I have used supermarket paella rice before and never quite ended up with the texture I hoped for. I assumed I was doing something wrong, perhaps my hob wasn't suitable, maybe it was the pan? Turns out I'd been using the wrong rice. The Catala Paella rice I got from Basco is no more expensive than the supermarket and gives better results. The fact that it comes in a nice little cloth sack doesn't hurt either.”
