What is Calasparra Rice?

Calasparra rice is a type of short-grain rice cultivated in the region of Calasparra, in the province of Murcia, Spain. It is characterized by its ability to absorb liquids without breaking apart, making it ideal for dishes such as paella, brothy rice dishes, and other traditional stews. Its unique texture and flavor have made it a highly prized ingredient in Spanish and Mediterranean cuisine overall. This rice is cultivated in terraced fields and mountainous areas, contributing to its uniqueness and quality. 

Why to choose Calasparra Rice?

• Higher Yield: Thanks to its greater natural dehydration, the product absorbs a larger quantity of broth, resulting in each kilogram of rice yielding a greater number of servings.
• Resistance to Clumping: This is due to the consistent grouping of starch in the grain, with a low level of amylose.
• Natural Product: As it is irrigated with clean and fresh water, freshly released from reservoirs.
