Calasparra Rice – Perfect Paella Rice 2.2 lbs/1 kilo 

From Calasparra, Spain, this short-grain rice is ideal for Paella, as it is highly absorbent and retains its shape. From Murcia, this centuries-old grain is unique due to its slower maturing process, which is 30% slower than other types of rice.

With a longer growing cycle, rice for Paella and other Mediterranean recipes is especially dehydrated, allowing it to absorb the full flavor of the broth. This makes for an exceptional meal that celebrates regional cuisine.
