The origin of the paella 

Traditionally, paella comes from the Valencia region.
The well-known paella valenciana has the typical yellow color that is created by adding saffron.
 

Its all about the rice

To cook a good and traditional rice paella, rice of the Arroz Bomba variety is used.
It is very absorbent, so it absorbs the paella brew very well and does not stick together like risotto rice, for example.

 

Paella variations
