Traditional Paella Rice: The Crown Jewel of Spanish Cuisine

As a Spanish chef who has dedicated 25 years to perfecting the art of paella, I can assure you that authentic paella rice is not just any grain – it's the soul of Spain's most beloved dish. This premium short-grain rice is what we use in my professional kitchen and what I recommend to all my cooking class students.
