ORIGINS
Created in the region of Valencia on Spain’s east coast during the 15th century, Paella was named after the Catalan word for ‘pan’. Fieldworkers made a simple way to cook the locally grown rice whilst in the fields. The rice was flavoured with saffron and paprika and, on special occasions, meat like duck or chicken. Given the region’s proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, the addition of seafood became a staple.
