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.

First time I bought this I went for the 1kg bag, I loved it so much I went for the 5kg this time.

Perfect Paella rice. Don’t pay £10 a kilo from Amazon when you can get a big sack from Basco. Delivered fast and efficiently.

Excellent rice from Valencia, perfect for all kinds of paella. The 5kg size is priced really competitively and should last me all summer.

Excellent authentic Spanish paella rice for the perfect holiday memories. Though that a five kilo bag would keep us going for a while but at the rate we're using it we may be reordering soon!
