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.




Our Signature Paellas

Chicken & Chorizo Paella – A Hearty Crowd Favourite

This paella is a perfect blend of savoury flavours. We use:

  • Chorizo, which adds a rich, smoky essence

  • Heirloom cherry tomatoes and green peas, bringing balance and freshness
