Round rice

Before every type of rice had its own brand name, Spanish kitchens had a single star: round rice. It is the grain of always, grandma's grain, the one that has fed entire generations. Its short, plump shape hides its greatest virtue: it releases its starch little by little and, above all, absorbs the flavour of the stock, the sofrito and everything cooking around it like no other.

Noble, dependable and never disappointing.

If you are after rice with real substance —the kind you eat with a spoon— round rice is your ally. It works wonderfully in a soupy lobster rice, in a creamy rib and mushroom one or in a good arroz a banda, where every grain is steeped in the sea. That ability to soak up flavour is exactly what sets it apart from long-grain rice.

It is also a forgiving grain for everyday cooking: it cooks easily, turns out just right without too much watching and works as well in a vegetable rice as in a simple white rice on the side.
