CALASPARRA Rice (Paella Rice) - 2 bags, 4.4 lbs

I cook paella every two weeks and I must say this is the right rice to get, it’s easy to coo, doesn’t overcook and the taste and the texture are just great.

great paella rice

I made an aros con pollo for my grandson's birthday. It came out perfect. The rice is an excellent arborio rice. Next is a paella.

The CALASPARRA Rice is fantastic for making authentic paellas! It has the perfect texture and absorbs flavors beautifull. However, it is a bit pricier compared to other options on the market, so if you’re on a budget, you might want to explore alternatives.One important tip: read the instructions carefully to get the water-to-rice ratio right. This rice absorbs more water than others, so precision is key to avoid ending up with a dry or soupy paella.And, for the love of tradition, please don’t add chorizo to your paella—it’s a big no-no if you’re aiming for an authentic Spanish experience!Overall, it’s a high-quality product that delivers great results if you use it properly. Perfect for paella enthusiasts who value authenticity!

This is perfect rice for paella. Top quality

Have used it once and superb results.

If you are gonna make authentic paella, then you need authentic paella rice. This is it. Paella rice is special because it absorbs 3x the normal water of other rices and creates that wonderful soccorat or crusty browned bottom that is signature to Spanish paella. Without this type of rice you end up with a mushy and maybe burned bottom- not good. Calasparra rice comes from a unique area in Spain and is integral to Paella, so don't flinch. Buy it. It is not expensive. Also known as "Arroz Bomba". Excellent rice for American casserole recipes as well.

In February I ordered Arroz Calasparra for the first time to make Paella rice and was great from texture to flavor. Just follow instructions for rice vs liquid and you will have great home made paella!Reordered this month ( April) as we expect more Paellas to share with friends and family with the weather getting warmer. It arrived the next day which was great but wrong brand.Wanted to share this experience in case anyone cares as much I do that the brand ordered was Virgen De La Esperanza and that is what one should receive...
