Valencian rice grown entirely in the Natural Park of La Albufera in Valencia, an environment that, due to its natural floodability, climate, soil properties, and the ancient ancestral techniques passed down through generations by Valencian farmers, becomes one of the best places in the world for rice cultivation. For all these reasons, and for the good practices compatible with the defense of the natural balance that it harbors, we obtain the best extra quality rice with designation of origin. All selected grains are uniform in qualities and size, which is very important to achieve a homogeneous cooking of the rice that guarantees a good result in your dishes. They do not have mixtures of other rice varieties or from other geographical areas that do not guarantee the optimal organoleptic qualities for authentic Valencian paella.
