Catala Paella Rice, 5kg, Short-Grain, Ideal for Paella and Risotto, Hijos de Vicente Catala Peiro Reviews

5 Rating 87 Reviews
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.

Cooked a Paella for 110 and worked perfect, the Rice held it's shape and still served well after it had been sat there for 30 minutes.

Wonderful quality paella rice! It arrives in good time for a family paella! The 5kg bag is great on the packaging front! No nasty plastic wrappers!

First of all, there is something very pleasing about the packaging (call me shallow!) It's the sort of thing that you really don't want to throw away. The rice itself is very good. I have made a couple of vegetarian paella dishes and have been very pleased with the results. Definitely not a one time purchase.

Have bought my paella rice and ingredients from Basco for the last 2 years and the quality and prices have been very good. I have no reason whatsoever to buy from elsewhere.
