About this item

  • A TASTE of SPAIN’S FAVORITES RECIPES: Nothing comes close to authentic paella made with the proper Spanish Bomba rice. Our short-grain rice is the perfect choice for paellas, arroz a banda, arroz negre, arroz con pollo, soups, seafood dishes or any Mediterranean recipe.
  • PERFECTLY HEALTHY: Our rice is not a genetically engineered product or food. Grown in the natural reserve of L’Albufera de València, Spain, our rice is soy-free, gluten-free and dairy-free. Enjoy perfectly healthy cooking at home that takes friends and family on a culinary trip to sunny Valencia, Spain.
  • THE ORIGINAL SPANISH RICE: Enjoy an authentic cooking experience with the Gourmanity Bomba Rice. Our rice is made in Spain by a family-run business since 1962 with the same passion, care, and unparalleled quality as then. Enhance your Mediterranean dishes with the original Rey del Arroz, King of Rice!
  • WHY WE CALL IT “BOMBA”: “Bomba” is Spanish for “bomb.” This grain of rice has been described by chefs around the world as the “King of Rice” thanks to its amazing ability to more than double in size during the cooking process. Our rice can absorb around three times its weight and take on the incredible flavor and aroma of your broth.
  • WONDERFUL COOKING CONSISTENCY: Another unique property of our rice is that once the cooking process is finished, our rice remains tasty and does not become sticky. This allows you to create gourmet plates packed with flavor that look and taste divine.

Great Paella Rice

Great Paella Rice
I received the rice and paella pan three days ago and cooked paella for the first time. The majority of friends said that rice really makes the paella and all agreed this rice is outstanding. Reduction of one star due to rice bag falling apart, but was salvageable since it arrived in a padded shipping container. Making another purchase today.

    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.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Yes, you can fall in love with rice. I can say this is wonderful rice. People underestimate the difference that great ingredients make, even if they seem basic like rice - rice is anything but basic. I adore this product. Spain's agricultural professionals know what they are doing with rice cultivation. This rice is wonderful for many culinary uses not just paella. Of course your paella will have that sublime special taste and texture if you use this. But I use it for many dishes and even just to eat plain white rice, yes it is that good. I wish I could order a 25lb bag. Now more details - each grain is whole, no broken grains, the starch level is perfect. It is forgiving, meaning if you use a little extra water it won't be mushy. If you have never tried the various rices from Spain, please do. They are remarkable and make me want to move to Spain. Enjoy!

    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!

    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.

    Used this rice to make paella. After doing some research, we decided to go with bomba rice rather than arborio. The grains stayed fluffy and absorbed all the delicious flavor of saffron and seafood. This rice was well worth the (slightly) extra money.
