Arroz  Bomba Paella Rice

Arroz  Bomba Paella Rice

Arroz  Bomba Paella Rice is one of the two types of classic short grain rice grown in Calasparra, Bomba is the supreme strain.

Until recently, many feared that the strain would become extinct. Bomba had all but disappeared from the land because it requires intensive care in order to flourish. Fortunately, alert gourmet chefs created a demand, so that today Bomba is once again available for the pleasure of discriminating food lovers.

The basic difference between Bomba rice and others is that Bomba expands in width like an accordion rather than longitudinally, as do other rice strains. It differs from Italian Arborio rice, which is bred to be creamy, and Asian rice, which is meant to be sticky. Bomba absorbs three times its volume in broth (rather than the normal two), yet the grains remain distinct.

This rice will allow you to make the perfect Paella.  Whisk yourself off to Spain through your tastebuds. This Bomba Paella Rice comes in a cloth bag to allow it to breathe.  1 kilo bag.
