Bomba: The ultimate rice for paella. The fresh mountain water around the town of Calasparra in Murcia provides the perfect environment for paella rice. The rice planted in this area take 30% longer to mature because it is grown in cooling flower water. A denser, more absorbent grain is the result, perfect for absorbing the flavorful broth of paella and other dishes. For this reason, Calasparra rice has a denominational or origin status, acknowledging and proving its unique qualities. Bomba is an ancient strain of rice that matures very slowly. This rice is exceptionally absorbent, which enables it to absorb 50% more broth than ordinary rice without becoming soggy. This jewel of Spanish cuisine almost went extinct, but Spanish chefs re-discovered Bomba in time to save this finest of rices. Product of Spain.
