ARROZ BRAZAL

Arroz Brazal is the brand of rice produced by Arrocera del Pirineo, which is a group made up of the biggest rice producer cooperatives in Aragon. We cultivate rice at higher altitudes and lower temperatures than any other region in Spain, so this allows us to use minimal pesticides. The water used to cultivate the rice is fresh and clean water, which comes from the melting snow of the Pyrenees. (If you don’t know the Pyrenees, is a range of mountains that forms a natural border between Spain and France.) These conditions favour homogeneous maturing of the grain with hardly any problems from pests or disease.

We commercialize five varieties with different characteristics. 

• Maratelli: is a round and pearlescent grain. This variety has an exceptional capacity for absorbing flavours of the broth. Is suitable for paellas, risottos and baked rice.
• Guadiamar: medium-sized crystalline grains. This variety has a quick cooking, and loose and consistent grains. It is our most versatile variety: ideal for garnishes, rice stews, sushi and paellas.  
• Integral / brown rice: medium-sized grains. Rich in fibres, vitamins and minerals. This variety is ideal for a healthy diet; and you can use it for vegetable dishes, salads and garnishes.  
• Balilla X Sollana: round and pearlescent grains. This variety is an exclusive and traditional variety from the Cinca Medio region. It is ideal for risottos and rice in broth.
• Bomba: short and pearlescent grains. This variety absorbs more water during cooking and resists splitting; ad it is suitable for rice in broth and rice casseroles.

We commercialize these varieties in two different formats: a traditional 1kg plastic packaging, and a selection of our best rice in 1kg cloth bag format.
