Paella rice is hard to come by in the US, but do not let it stops you from getting it. When I took a paella cooking class a few years ago, they had us to use Arborio rice. It is more accessible and cheaper, but it isn't the same at all. If we used this rice, I would have been making this on a weekly basis instead of putting off getting a pan n rice for years. When I look the rice, they remind me of tiny pearls - each has a white tip on it. Every single one was in perfect shape. It's definitely a high quality product. My paella came of the oven today, the liquid was completely absorbed, I still saw the tiny white tip on them. They look slightly wet. When taking a bite into it , it was really amazing. Not only it picked up all the flavors, but I also could taste perfect amount of moisture while it is light and fluffy! I ate a lot of it, and it doesn't give me the 'hangover' feeling from regular ice where I felt super bloated, heavy and sleepy. I really had to stop myself from eating too much though after more than 1/3 of the pan was gone. I thought the bag was small, but it turns out each bag I can make 3 pans of paella (12 inch paella pan). Now I am really happy and will definitely making a lot paellas. It's just too good to pass up!

The real deal for paella! Worth the cost.

Wonderful texture. Delicious flavor. The right rice makes the paella. This rice is perfect.

Love it great taste

Excellent rice, my paella came out perfect!

Made paella for Christmas. The rice was perfect! The price was excellent, and it came the next day!

I wanted authentic paella rice, along with other Spanish ingredients. I have tried arborio rice in paella. It "works" but I did not care much for the results. Real Spanish paella rice is much shorter and it absorbs the stock quickly. The ratio of stock to paella rice is 4 parts stock to 1 part paella rice. It cooks quickly! Best to not pour in all stock at one time, hold back a cup or so and add as the rice "grows" and liquid is absorbing quickly. Don't walk away while you're cooking paella; only bad things can happen. Spanish chorizo and real BOTH sweet and hot paprikas made the paella fabulous! Be careful when buying saffron! I got hold of a fake tiin of it. it's estimated that 90% of saffron sold is fake.
