Calasparra rice is one of the only three rices with a protected designation of origin in Spain, along with those from the Ebro delta and Valencia. It is a mountain crop, at an approximate altitude of 450 meters. Irrigation is done through a system of terraces that allow constant renewal of water. It is harvested between October and November. Grain maturation takes 30% longer than other rice varieties.
