    Rice is a compact subcategory focused on two premium speciality varieties - Bomba rice from Moli Rafelet, the traditional base of authentic Spanish paella, and Italian Acquerello carnaroli superfino, one of the most highly valued risotto rices in the world. Both varieties share the ability to absorb a large amount of liquid and flavour without becoming overcooked or losing their structure.

    How to find your way around this category

    Bomba rice is a short-grain variety originating in the Valencia region, classically used for paella - it absorbs up to three times its volume in liquid and stock without cooking down into a mush. Acquerello carnaroli superfino is an Italian rice aged for at least a year in temperature-controlled silos, which gives it the high starch content needed for a creamy but still "al dente" risotto.

    For paella always choose Bomba - ordinary rice cooks down and the dish loses its characteristic texture. For risotto, carnaroli is considered one of the finest varieties available.

    Bomba vs. Carnaroli

    Variety Origin Use
    Bomba Valencia, Spain Paella
    Acquerello carnaroli superfino Italy (Piedmont) Risotto

    Bomba rice is available in 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg packs, and Acquerello in 500g and 1kg packs.

    Why Acquerello is exceptional

    Acquerello is an Italian brand renowned for producing "invecchiato" (aged) carnaroli rice - after harvest it is left to age for at least one year in temperature-controlled steel silos, which stabilises the starch and gives the rice a gently nutty flavour. During cooking the rice retains a firm structure (an "al dente" centre) while releasing enough starch for the creamy consistency of a risotto - a combination that Italian chefs value highly.

    Do not rinse Bomba rice before cooking - the starch on the surface of the grains helps to bind the stock and gives the paella its characteristic texture.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why must Bomba rice be used for paella?
    Bomba absorbs a large amount of liquid and stock without cooking down, which preserves the characteristic texture of paella. Ordinary rice easily cooks down into a mush.
    What does "invecchiato" mean on Acquerello rice?
    It means "aged" - after harvest the rice is left to age for at least a year in temperature-controlled silos, which improves both its culinary properties and its flavour.
    Does rice for paella have to be rinsed before cooking?
    No, it is recommended not to rinse the rice - the starch on the surface of the grains helps to bind the stock and creates the characteristic texture of the dish.
    Can Bomba rice also be used for dishes other than paella?
    Yes, it also works for other dishes with stock where you want to keep a firm grain texture, but it reaches its full potential precisely in a traditional paella.
    What else do I need to prepare paella?
    Besides Bomba rice you will need saffron and other spices from the Spices category, and possibly equipment from the Paella category.
