Slow Cooking

Grown on the Moorish-built river terraces of Calasparra, an inland village in Murcia, this rice is produced under the prestigious Arroz de Calasparra DOP – Spain's first protected designation of origin for rice. The fields are irrigated by the fast-flowing, mineral-rich waters of the River Segura, which contribute to the exceptional quality of the crop. This Balilla × Sollana variety is particularly well suited to traditional arroz al horno (oven-baked rice) and arroz caldoso (soupy rice) dishes, delivering excellent texture across both styles of cooking. Brindisa sources this rice from the Co-operativa del Campo Virgen de la Esperanza, a respected producer that cultivates several traditional rice varieties in the region.

Spain's most famous rice dish, paella, is named after the pan in which it is cooked whose name, in turn, is derived from patella, or knee cap, which it is thought to resemble. This shallow pan allows the rice to cook at the right speed. Thicker and heavier than the plain stainless steel pans, the enamelled paella pans are coated with a black and white speckled, non-stick finish. They are easy to clean, don't get rusty (there’s no need to use oil after use!) and oven proof. Pan can be used on electric and gas hobs or in the oven. Not suitable for induction hobs. The 4 person pan is 30cm in diameter at its widest upper rim.  View our Seafood Paella Recipe.

A balsamic vinegar, made by combining reduced grape juice with the vinegar, and aged in oak barrels for 8 years, it is unfiltered, allowing the varietal flavours to shine; ripe black fruit is balanced by the acidity in bittersweet harmony. Cook and vinegar expert, Angela Clutton, says "It smells of aged wine, coffee and chocolate with spicy, plummy overtones. Those aromas carry through to the flavour, which has a gorgeous balance of soft bitterness and delicate sweetness. I love this. Try it as a finishing drizzle over tuna carpaccio and sardines, or serve alongside Spanish cured hams. Also fabulous in rich pulse dishes or to lift heavier meat dishes like braised pig’s cheeks or beef stews."
