Albufera Rice, Sivaris

Valencian rice grown entirely in the Albufera Natural Park of Valencia, an environment that, thanks to its natural floodplain, climate, soil properties, and the age-old ancestral techniques used generation after generation by Valencian rice farmers, is one of the best places in the world for rice cultivation.

For all these reasons, and because of good practices compatible with protecting the natural balance that sustains it, we obtain the finest extra-quality rice with a designation of origin.

All selected grains are uniform in quality and size, which is very important for achieving even cooking and ensuring excellent results in your dishes. They are not blended with other rice varieties or with rice from other geographical areas that cannot guarantee the optimal organoleptic qualities required for authentic Valencian paella, or for other rice dishes.
