Cathy: Lived abroad for a Semester in Valencia. Had a Spanish party the other day, and this is as authentic as it comes. Just like Rissoto, the proper rice is key to the dish. Traditional Valencia rice makes it the best.

LiliaLilia: I'm not impressed at all with this Bomba rice and wouldn't buy it again. I wanted to try it in order to make the perfect paella for my family, but realize now that we have in Canada other types of rice that would work perfectly in a paella, like Calrose, Carnaroli and Arborio, with an abysmal price difference. The grains of this rice are small and many of them broken. It took a long time to cook, which is fine; at least it didn't become sticky. In my humble opinion, this rice is overrated and overpriced.

Joanna D.Joanna D.: This is the rice to use for paella. It's a very short grain rice, but not as gooey as Japanese short grain sushi rice. Since it's being imported from Spain, it's not cheap, but it is the genuine article. The cloth bag has one kilo of rice (2.2 lbs) so this has about 10 servings (figuring 100g or 1/2 cup of rice per person.)
We had a lesson on making paella in Seville, and the part of the class that really amazed me was that the rivets on the paella pan are the measuring marks. To the rivets for the broth, then to the top of the rivets as you pour in the rice in a strip between the rivets. That gives you the proper amount of rice for the size of pan so you can get the crusty bottom in 18 minutes of cooking. Low-tech but brilliant. Paella pans in Spain are made to these measurements so that no matter what size pan you have (4 servings, 100 servings) you can simply pour on the broth and rice and get the correct proportions.
And our chef told us, true paella doesn't have seafood. It's rabbit and or chicken, only. I don't think there are any Paella Police around, so if you put shrimp in the shell and some mussels on near the end of the cooking, no one will stop you. But I...
