Paella Section

Paella is the crown jewel of Spanish cuisine, originating from the sun-drenched fields and coastlines of Valencia. Yet, much like traditional dishes passed down through generations across the Spanish countryside, everyone claims their grandmother holds the absolute secret to making it right.

We’re putting together an entire section where you’ll find both gourmet ingredients for making the best paella and seasoning kits and ready-made broths to help you prepare it. Rice with protected designation of origin, smoked paprika, saffron, and more

Paella in Spain: A True Institution

Paella in Spain could be one of the signature dishes of our extensive Spanish cuisine. As I mentioned in the introduction, it’s a true institution, and at the same time one of the most controversial dishes—and I think that’s what makes it great and important.

Aside from that, and speaking of just how great and important this dish is, it’s exquisite—just like each of its individual ingredients: rice, salmorreta, chicken, rabbit, smoked paprika, saffron, and vegetables. Just mentioning it and thinking about the smell of wood fire makes my mouth water.

In our paella section, you’ll find the most exclusive ingredients for making paella, including various types of rice with protected designation of origin, wood-fired broths made from poultry, fish, and seafood, saffron, and smoked paprika—so you can enjoy a paella just as if you were in Spain. All you need to do is find a good recipe. 

To help you with that, we’ll also have a section featuring rice recipes, tips, and fun facts about this culinary delight.
