Bahia Rice (Arroz Bahia)

Arroz Bahia is a traditional rice variety originating from Valencia, the birthplace of paella. This type of rice is short-grained, it cooks quickly, and absorbs liquids without becoming sticky so that the grains remain separate, which makes it ideal for preparing paella.

The rice will remain firm during and after cooking. Arroz Bahia is slightly similar to arroz Bomba, but the Bahia is usually priced much lower than Bomba, and that’s the reason why Bahia, along with arroz Senia, is the most grown rice type in Spain.
