How to cook it
For a dry rice dish, one part rice to two parts water can be an initial guide, with around 15–20 minutes of cooking and about 3 minutes of resting. These figures are a starting point. Evaporation in a wide paella pan differs from that in a deep pot; heat intensity, stock temperature and the amount of other ingredients also matter.
Creamy and soupy rice dishes need more liquid. Adjust the amount to your pan, heat and desired texture; the ratio above is not a fixed rule for these dishes.
Recommended uses
Recommended for dry, creamy and soupy rice dishes. It can also be used for risotto: add stock gradually, stir regularly, then finish with butter and cheese for a creamy, flowing texture.
Storage
Store in a dry, ventilated place, protected from moisture and away from heat. Once opened, transfer the rice to a clean, tightly closed container. Always check the best-before date printed on the bag.
