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.

“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!”
