Matiz Picos, Bomba Rice, and Marcona Almonds
From Matiz comes three new specialty Spanish products.
Picos are crunchy, olive oil flavored bread sticks which are a tapas staple. Combine on a plate with cured meat, cheese, and olives for a classic snack.
More rounded and plump than California almond varieties, Marcona almonds have a sweeter taste and softer texture. Eat straight or with a cheese plate, throw on a salad, or add to a dessert or baked good, Marcona almonds are incredibly versatile.
Bomba rice is a short grained rice used to make paella. Desired for its ability to absorb up to 30% more liquid than regular rice, it expands horizontally instead if vertically. The grains remain distinct after absorbing liquid to create a perfectly uniform paella.
