Choosing the right rice is one of the most important steps in preparing a good paella. Not all types of rice react in the same way during cooking, and the type of grain directly affects the absorption of the stock, the texture and the final result of the dish.
Regina rice is one of the most highly valued varieties for cooking paella thanks to its balance and versatility. It has an excellent absorption capacity, takes in the flavour of the stock without breaking apart and maintains a pleasant, even texture throughout the cooking process.
This makes it an ideal choice for both traditional paellas and more creative recipes, as well as everyday rice dishes. It also offers greater control in the kitchen, which is especially important when aiming for loose, balanced rice and a perfect socarrat.
At Terra Serena, we choose Regina rice because it represents the way we understand Mediterranean gastronomy: honest ingredients, authentic flavour and products designed to be enjoyed around a good table.
Because a great paella does not begin with the fire. It begins with the grain.
