Matiz España Bomba Rice – 2.2 lb, Gluten Free, Authentic Spanish Short Grain for Paella & Risotto

Discover Matiz España Bomba Rice, a premium short grain harvested in Spain and packed in a 2.2 lb bag. This rice carries the unmistakable character of Spanish cuisine, making paella, arroz negro, and seafood-forward risottos come alive with aroma, bite, and depth. Each grain is plump yet firm, releasing subtle sweetness as it cooks and absorbing the flavors of saffron, paprika, garlic, and seafood broth.

From field to fork, this Bomba rice is prized for its high absorption capacity. It can swell three times its own volume, a feature that helps rice retain a lively texture while soaking up savory liquids. The result is a cohesive dish where grains stay distinct and flavors intensify rather than dissipate into the cooking liquid.
