Grown in the Ebro delta in Tarragona, this Bomba rice is capable of absorbing up to three times its weight in liquid, which means that it takes on the flavour of the cooking stock most effectively.  It makes a perfect paella, not only flavoursome, but with each grain of rice separate from the other. Illa de Riu is a third-generation family company, who grow exceptionally high quality rice. They have channelled their resources into improving the seed stocks of the rices they cultivate, and hence are responsible for growing some of the best rice in Spain.   

Adds depth to sauces & dishes. Finely-ground. Peppers dry over oak fires. Produced in the La Vera DOP in Extremadura from peppers that have been grown in one of the 52 villages within the DOP. The peppers are smoked by the growers before being sent to the factory, where they are ground in stone mills, to preserve the quality. This smoked paprika had a mild, bittersweet flavour. If you’re looking for something with more of a hint of spice, try the hot variant of our La Chinata smoked paprika.

This rice is cultivated on the Moorish built river terraces of the town of Calasparra in Murcia. The variety (balilla x sollana) is highly absorbent taking up about 2.5 times its weight in liquid, so it can really show off the flavour of a good stock.

Whilst pasta is perceived as an almost exclusively Italian ingredient the people from Valencia have been making the traditional dish of fideua for decades. This pasta resembles short strands of spaghetti and is used like rice in a paella, paired with a sofrito and seafood to make the classic regional dish.

This sauce is a classic base for many Mediterranean dishes. The rich tomato and sweet onion flavours match equally well with fish, meat or vegetables. Add herbs, chillis or capers to customise it to your tastes. Serving suggestions: add to a seafood stew, use as the base for arroz con pollo, as a simple pasta sauce, in patatas a la importancia, homemade baked beans or empanada.

The classic Mediterranean tomato sauce is given extra depth of flavour and body from the addition of roasted piquillo peppers. The intense flavour of the sauce works particularly well with chorizo, game and red meats or in rich vegetable stews. Serving suggestions: use as the base for a chickpea and chorizo stew, in huevos rancheros, as the filling for empanadas, in pollo al chilindrón or bean stews.
