A Taste of Valencia

Spain's most famous rice dish, paella, is named after the pan in which it is cooked whose name, in turn, is derived from patella, or knee cap, which it is thought to resemble. This shallow pan allows the rice to cook at the right speed. Thicker and heavier than the plain stainless steel pans, the enamelled paella pans are coated with a black and white speckled, non-stick finish. They are easy to clean, don't get rusty (there’s no need to use oil after use!) and oven proof. Pan can be used on electric and gas hobs or in the oven. Not suitable for induction hobs. The 4 person pan is 30cm in diameter at its widest upper rim.  View our Seafood Paella Recipe.

Grown in the Ebro delta in Tarragona, this Bomba rice is capable of absorbing up to three times its weight in liquid, which means that it takes on the flavour of the cooking stock most effectively.  It makes a perfect paella, not only flavoursome, but with each grain of rice separate from the other. Illa de Riu is a third-generation family company, who grow exceptionally high quality rice. They have channelled their resources into improving the seed stocks of the rices they cultivate, and hence are responsible for growing some of the best rice in Spain.

Sweet with a bitter edge and a burst of citrus. Great after dinner sweet. Made with locally grown Valencian Salustiana oranges, these candied orange segments are gently cooked in a sweet syrup to allow them to soften and create a sweet skin. Once softened they are dipped in delicious dark chocolate.   These chocolate coated segments provide the best taste combination of sweet and bitter and are the ultimate addition to any dinner table or as an appetising gift. A 1-star Great Taste Awards winner in 2025 Note from the judges: "Diverse sizes of slice create an artisan aspect. The chocolate has coated the citrus well and has a gentle shine.

A traditional paella pan designed for cooking Spain’s most iconic rice dish. The word ‘paella’ comes from the pan itself, whose name is thought to derive from the Latin patella, meaning ‘knee cap’, due to its shallow, curved shape. This wide, shallow design allows the rice to cook evenly and at the ideal speed, creating the perfect paella texture. Used by professional chefs across Spain, this traditional-style pan is ideal for achieving the prized socarrat - the delicious, crisp layer of rice that forms at the bottom of the pan. Crafted for durability, this pan is built to last with the proper care. Suitable for use on gas hobs or in the oven (up to 250ºC for a maximum of 10 minutes). Please note: this pan is not suitable for induction hobs. The 2-person pan measures 26cm in diameter at its widest upper rim. View our Seafood Paella Recipe for inspiration.
