Albufera Rice

Albufera rice is the result of a natural selection of the Bomba, Sénia and Bahía varieties. Its round and pearly grain has a great absorption capacity, while offering great resistance to overcooking. This variety is grown exclusively in the  Valencia Natural Park of Albufera in Valencia and is recommended for all types of Spanish dishes, especially paellas. Its cooking time is approximately 18 minutes and it is recommended for recipes where there may be an overhydration of the ingredients, such as vegetables or seafood.
