History of Paella

Worldwide known and desired, the Spanish Paella is one of the most international dishes that exists, although it is one of the most difficult to cook. Its origin is in Spain, specifically in the Mediterranean basin of Valencia. It is often referred to as Valencian paella instead of Spanish paella, mainly in its country of origin. There are, in fact, many varieties of Paella, the original being Paella Valenciana, which is usually made with a mixture of meats and no seafood.

The origin of the dish was born from the needs of the peasants and shepherds of the area, so the ingredients had to be easy to find in the area. As is to be expected, over the years and centuries the dish has evolved from its beginnings, when it was made with only rice, flour and almond milk, to the large number of ingredients with which it is currently made, it has changed almost radically. Currently, although rice is still its main ingredient, the most replicated Paella is the seafood Paella, with products derived from the sea, something that in its origin was not this way.
