Gourmanity 1.1lb/500g (Pack of 2) Spanish Bomba Rice for Paella, Rey del Arroz Authentic Spanish Bomba Rice from Spain [1.1 Pound, Pack of 2]

Used in paella. Great choice … it was a choice. Long grain (Jasmine), short grain (Arborio) … as examples. Went with a number of reviews and didn’t go wrong. It bloomed and absorbed all surrounding flavors. Maintained its form and still had substance while had a great feel and taste. Did a trial run and enjoyed the results. Doubled the ingredients, adjusted flavors and ingredients and served it to a dinner party. Great feedback … the rice was called out specifically as a key to the dinner. Great stuff will add it to the pantry as a good option.

Father’s Day foodie gift — a paella an! You just have to use the most authentic ingredients that yo can; and I did. Rey del Arroz Bomba rice is the rice for paella. I will find out other Spanish recipes to use the for as well, but if you are making paella, this is it. The consistency for both day of eating and leftovers is superb. Even though I cooked it a little long for my first paella, it absorbed flavors well and was the hit of a Father’s Day dinner. Muy elegante y perfecto! Muchas gracias!

Recently visit to Spain….wanted authentic Bomba rice to make Paella….this Bomba rice was of such great quality, great taste & very authentic…will definitely purchase again!

Great rice.

This rice is rated highly in the American Market by those with some culinary experience. This is not to say is the best you can get your hands on, but it is a decent choice within those available to us at a reasonable price. There is a higher tear brand by the name Peregrino that may be of higher quality, but I do not have personal experience with this brand.In terms of delivery, I got the rice quite quickly and in good conditions. No ruptures or any other kind of issues.When it comes to the quality, I would say is GOOD. There were no pebbles, no debris, and no additional contaminants. Not too much rice grain residue (powdery stuff you find in lesser quality brands) which means the rice was fairly well clean before packaging and shipping by manufacturer.When it comes to cooking, if you know what you’re doing, you should be able to prepare a fairly good paella. Just be mindful of the rice to water/broth ratio and everything should be fine. I found the grain to be slightly larger than the conventional Valencian grain, which is somewhat (on average) shorter. This makes me question the authenticity of its origins, but then again, I’ m not a rice expert, just a regular consumer. All in all, it resulted in a tasty dish with good flavor absorption and some grain separation (as opposed to a lumpy finish).The price is permissible, so give it a try and judge for yourself!

The rice was very good. Unable to buy this locally. Shipping was fast. Glad I was able to find. Will buy again.

We received it really fast and also was well packed and fresh. The final results as we expected super nice dinner.

I used the bomba for paella on the grill. Previously have used carnaroli and arborio but wanted to try bomba to be authentically Spanish. Results were wonderful. Great absorption of liquid. Excellent nutty flavor. I have already ordered more so that I will have on hand.
