Nomen Bomba Broth Rice Special (1Kg)

Nomen Bomba Broth Rice Special

Nomen Bomba Broth Rice stands out as an exceptional short or medium-grain Japonica variety, highly esteemed in Spanish gastronomy. The uncooked grains are small, round, and display a distinctive pearly sheen.

This rice is celebrated for its remarkable cooking characteristics, largely owing to its high amylose content. It can absorb two to three times its own volume of liquid, yet remains firm, separate, and never sticky or mushy. The grains swell significantly during cooking, which is where the name bomba, or bomb, originates. This structure makes the rice extremely resistant to overcooking and valued for maintaining its integrity in demanding recipes.

Regarded as one of Spain’s finest and most sought-after rices, Nomen Bomba Broth Rice is in high demand among both professional chefs and home cooks. Its primary appeal lies in its adaptability and consistent results, especially in Spanish broth rice dishes (arroz caldoso) and creamy dishes (arroz meloso), where the rice is simmered in deeply flavoured stocks and a luscious, spoonable consistency is desired.

Its neutral flavour acts as a blank canvas, eagerly absorbing the taste of broths, sofritos, seafood, or vegetables, making it the rice of choice for broth-based preparations. In this shop, we distinguish between bomba rice best suited for paellas or for brothy dishes such as caldoso and meloso, helping you select the perfect product for your dish.

Beyond brothy rice, this variety excels in paella and dry rice dishes (arroz seco) as well as baked rice recipes (arroz al horno), thanks to its ability to absorb flavour while preserving an outstanding grain texture. It is also the preferred rice for dishes like arroz negro, with squid ink, and in any preparation where keeping the grains separate yet fully flavoured is essential.

PREPARATION typically calls for a higher liquid ratio—one part rice to 2.5 or 3 parts broth—to unlock its unrivalled absorbency and texture. Cooking generally takes around 18 to 20 minutes, followed by an important resting period to perfect the grain’s consistency. The extra quality Nomen selection contains a much lower percentage of broken grains than standard rice, resulting in a looser, more tender outcome that resists falling apart, even under prolonged cooking.

This rice is produced according to the standards of Protected Designation of Origin (PDO), including Arroz de Valencia, Calasparra, and Arroz del Delta del Ebro, a testament to its heritage and quality. Carefully milled, whitened, polished, classified, and packaged, each grain guarantees excellence at your table, whether you are recreating a hearty arroz caldoso or an elegant paella.

With its exemplary texture and flavour-absorbing qualities, Nomen Bomba Broth Rice is the ultimate companion for both broth-rich and classic Spanish rice dishes.
