Paella is one of Spain’s most iconic dishes, loved for its bold flavours, rich history, and communal dining experience. At Paella amor, we take pride in offering some of the best paella catering in Sydney, crafted using traditional techniques and high-quality ingredients. Whether you’re hosting a wedding, corporate event or backyard paella party, knowing the differences between our signature paellas will help you select the perfect dish for your guests.
The Foundation of Great Paella
The secret to an authentic paella lies in its base ingredients. At Paella amor, we use:
✔ Bomba rice – A premium Spanish short-grain rice that absorbs rich flavours while maintaining the perfect texture.
✔ Saffron – The world’s most precious spice, giving paella its signature golden colour and earthy aroma.
✔ Soffrito – A blend of tomatoes, garlic, onions, roasted capsicum, paprika and olive oil, creating a deep, flavourful base.
