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.

I love this rice and the fact that you can buy 5kg. The quality is great for cooking paella (or anything really). I also like the fabric bag. It keeps the rice stored perfectly.

Basco has restored my faith in human nature. Even in these dire times, my order was processed and dispatched faultlessly. I made an ordering error - which was generously resolved, and i'm one satisfied customer. 5 well deserved stars, thank you very much. Great products and great customer service.
