regina gines: So I was watching a video of a woman in Spain cooking paella, and she had this bag of rice. I took a screenshot and started looking for this rice. I have made several paellas now and this stuff is really good, better that the “bomba” rice I had purchased in the past. It’s worth the try and is now my go to

Rivet: 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.

When something is labeled as “Calaspara” or “Valenica” rice, this simply means that the rice was grown in the geographical region of Calaspara or Valenica. Without additional information, you do not know by default which rice variety is in the bag (bahfa, bomba, senia, or thaibonnet). To put it in wine terms, you could buy a bottle wine from the Napa or Sonoma region of California, but without additional information, you wouldn’t know if the bottle contained Chardonnay, Cabernet, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, etc...
Calaspara and Valenica are considered Spain’s best regions for growing rice. Of the rice varieties grown in these regions, bomba rice is...
