    Bahía

    A medium-grain Spanish japonica bred by IVIA at Sueca, long a leading variety in Valencia and the Ebro delta and the parent of Sénia. It is grown in Italy as Padano and is admitted in both the Valencia and Ebro delta rice PDOs.

    Bahía — editorial grain study, polished, not to scale. Appearance alone does not establish variety or protected origin.

    Profile

    In 1997 Bahía was one of the leading varieties of the Ebro delta, alongside Sénia and Tebre, all bred by IVIA's rice department; the same review notes that Bahía is cultivated in Italy under the name Padano and that Sénia superseded it for lodging resistance. The Valencia PDO specification gives an average raw-grain length of 5.6 mm, ratio 1.8 (width derived ≈ 3.1 mm) and 19.1% amylose.
