Extra Large Calasparra Paella Rice by La Tienda - 11 Pounds Feature

• Imported from Spain
• Absorbs 3 times its volume in broth
• Wonderful consistency and flavor
• Great choice for paella

Calasparra Rice is grown in the mountains of the Province of Murcia in Spain, where it enjoys natural pure mountain water irrigation first engineered by the Moors over 1,000 years ago. What makes Calasparra unique is that it is a centuries old strain of rice, and has a leisurely maturing process; 30% slower than other kinds of rice. This longer growing cycle produces rice kernels which are exceptionally dehydrated - ready to absorb even more of the tasty sauces and flavors of Mediterranean recipes. Since rice is the bedrock of paella, it makes sense to use Calasparra.

One Ounce Tin of Princesa de Minaya Saffron by La Tienda Feature

• The Best Saffron in the World

'Princesa de Minaya? is ?An artisanal saffron of immense quality? quotes 'Lo Mejor de la Gastronomia' - the definitive gourmet food guide in Spain. Unquestionably the best of the best, La Tienda can bring it to your kitchen because the family that produces the saffron is satisfied with the life they have: producing the best, and in low volume. Our order meets their personal needs, they dream of no more. They collect, prune and toast it themselves on a daily basis during the harvest, which has a decisive effect on its aromatic, flavor profile and coloring strength?and all three are very intense. Their production for the year is no more than 50lbs. depending on the harvest. Your purchase supports an artisan industry that might otherwise vanish. For several generations the family of Maria Ángeles and Juan Antonio Serrano has cultivated the highest quality saffron in Spain on their ten acre plot. It takes about 5,500 crocus flowers to obtain the 28 grams of saffron you find packed in this tin. Since saffron is such a precious condiment, the market is being flooded with many inferior grades and outright counterfeits. The Serrano family affixes the ?Denomination of Origin La Mancha? seal on each tin, so that you will be guaranteed that Princesa de Minaya is actually grown in La Mancha, the site of the finest saffron (azafrán) in the world.
