Strictly complete red filaments without ground powders or dyes.
Textural integrity

Cooking and simmering guide
Prepare a rich stock base and steep whole saffron threads.
Add rice to simmering liquid, maintaining an even simmer across the pan.
Do not stir after the initial spread to keep grains intact and individual.
Slow-maturing mountain grain and saffron
Authentic rice dishes require a grain that absorbs savory broths without softening into porridge. This Calasparra Bomba rice matures slowly in cool mountain river water, creating a compact starch matrix that expands in width while preserving distinct bite. Paired inside this kit are hand-plucked Mancha saffron stigmas, roasted gently over oak fires to develop deep amber colour and floral aromatics. Together, they establish the foundation for genuine regional rice pots on home burners.
- ✓ Gluten-free grain
- ✓ Additive-free
- ✓ No artificial colorants
Four actions for perfect grain texture
Cold-water maturity
Slow mountain growing seasons result in dense grain starch structure.
Broth uptake
Bomba expands crosswise to hold abundant savory broth without splitting.
Hand harvested stigmas
Delicate red threads offer pure aroma without yellow floral filler.
Controlled resting
Natural cooling locks in moisture and sets the final texture.

Notes from kitchen tables
"Cooked a seafood rice on Sunday. The rice absorbed all the broth without turning to sludge, and the saffron color was clean and deep."
