Alises Paella Rice Arroz Bahía D.O. Valencia 1 kg — Premium Bahía-Senia Short-Grain, Creamy Texture

Alises Arroz Bahía is a 2.2 lb (1 kg) D.O. Valencia–certified paella rice grown in the Albufera park, selected for superior liquid absorption and a creamy, authentic texture.

Harvested from the Bahía-Senia varieties in Valencia’s Albufera Natural Park and presented in a traditional numbered cloth bag, this arroz Bahía carries the Denomination of Origin seal that traces origin and quality. Its high starch content gives a creamy finish while still allowing each grain to hold shape, making it a versatile choice for classic paella, risotto-style dishes, and rice puddings. Packaged by the family-owned brand Alises, the rice aims to deliver an honest, regional flavour to home cooks and professionals alike.

What makes this Arroz Bahía different from other paella rices?

Arroz Bahía comes from a specific Valencian seed family—Bahía-Senia—grown under the D.O. Valencia program, which enforces regional cultivation and processing standards. That controlled origin ensures consistent grain structure and starch profile, producing the characteristic creaminess without breaking down into mush.

• Grown in Albufera Natural Park under D.O. Valencia rules for traceability and quality.
• Bahía-Senia variety selected for balanced starch and structural integrity.
• Traditional cloth packaging with an individual number to confirm authenticity.

How does this rice perform when making paella and similar dishes?

This rice absorbs stock efficiently, so it soaks up flavours from sofrito, seafood, meats, and spices while creating a silky mouthfeel. Grains remain distinct yet tender when cooked with the right liquid ratio and timing, making it suitable for both traditional socarrat-seeking paellas and creamier risotto-like preparations.

• High absorption allows deep seasoning penetration in 10–12 minute paella cooks.
• Creamy texture from natural starch, ideal for risottos and rice puddings too.
• Maintains grain integrity—less prone to bursting than some short-grain rices.

How much rice do I get and how many portions does a 2.2 lb bag make?

The 2.2 lb (1 kg) bag provides ample rice for multiple meals; it typically yields about ten generous paella portions depending on serving size and added ingredients. The cloth bag and clear labeling make storage and portion planning straightforward for home cooks and small professional kitchens.

• 1 kg bag equals roughly 10 generous paella portions.
• Traditional cloth bag preserves rice breathability while keeping it clean.
• Numbered D.O. tag helps with inventory and authenticity checks.
