Round paella rice 500 g, DOP Valencia in a cloth bag, La Catedral

Product detailed description

La Catedral DO Valencia rice has one charming quality: it presents itself modestly as an ordinary bag of rice, but inside it is already quietly planning a paella. The short-grain Redondo variety from the Albufera region near Sollana is exactly the base that truly knows why it is in the pan and what it is supposed to do there.

Main advantages:

• DO Valencia round-grain rice opens the way to an authentic paella, cream risotto, and rice desserts without having to search for the right type of grain.
• The Redondo variety is grown in the Albufera nature reserve near the village of Sollana in Valencia, an area closely linked to rice tradition.
• The short-grain rice type has a similar character to Bomba, but it acts slightly stickier, making it well-suited for creamier preparations.
• Paella with this rice gains a firm base that better suits Spanish cuisine than ordinary universal pantry rice.
• For cream risotto, the stickier structure of the grains helps create a smoother result without the need to reach for a random substitute.
• Rice porridge or a sweeter rice dessert will gain a more pleasant consistency and a naturally softer homemade character thanks to this rice.
• It is perfect for the kitchen when you want to cook Spanish style, but also need an ingredient that can be used beyond paella.
• Rice from Valencia has a clear regional story that gives the finished meal more meaning than an anonymous bag of ordinary rice.
• When preparing for family or guests, you will appreciate that one pack is enough for a larger pan of paella and other rice recipes.
• The textile-feel light bag with red print and stitched edges looks more traditional than standard plastic packaging.
• The La Catedral brand emphasises the Valencian origin of the rice and visually connects to the Spanish gastronomic tradition.
• The net weight of 500 g is practical for home cooking when you want to have a quality base on hand for several rice dishes.
• Thanks to a shelf life of 2 years, the rice can wait in the pantry for a weekend paella, cream risotto, or unplanned cooking for guests.
• DO Valencia round-grain rice is the ingredient for moments when a rice dish should feel authentic, regional, and respectful of Spanish tradition.
