  Calasparra Paella Rice
 
 
  • Authentic paellas must start with rice from Spain. 
  • Rice kernels in authentic paellas not only must have good absorbency to absorb the good flavors of stock and spices (that precious saffron you put in) used, but they also have to stay intact, separated and never creamy like the rice in risottos.
  • This DO (Designation of origin) Calasparra rice is grown in the mountains of Murcia, Spain, 1500 feet above sea level.  Because of the colder climate and irrigation by cold spring water, this rice takes 30% longer to mature than rice grown in the rest of the world. 
  • In addition to the special growing condition, the Spanish rice itself is of a unique century old strain.  These are the reasons Spanish rice has the unique characteristic, in which they're superior in absorbing liquid without releasing too much starch to become creamy. 
  • The use of Spanish rice is crucial in paella making.  Other rice substitution just does not cut it. 
  • This paella rice is grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides.  They are processed without the addition of chemical.  Each bag is numbered at the farm.
  • Product of Spain.
