Paella
Paella is one of the most famous dishes in Spanish cuisine, known for its rich flavors and colorful presentation. The origins of paella trace back to the Valencia region of Spain, where it was traditionally cooked over an open fire with ingredients like rabbit, chicken, and snails. Today, paella is enjoyed worldwide with various ingredients, including seafood, vegetables, and different meats.
The Rumi Spice Paella Blend takes this traditional Spanish dish to a new level by incorporating premium Afghan saffron. Saffron, known as one of the most precious and expensive spices in the world, adds a luxurious touch to the blend. Our saffron is sourced from the fertile soils of Afghanistan and undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the highest quality standards. Its deep crimson threads, intense aroma, and unmatched flavor profile make our Paella Spice Blend truly unique.
In addition to saffron, the blend includes black pepper, sweet paprika, sweet smoked paprika, thyme, rosemary, and Mediterranean oregano. These spices and herbs create a harmonious blend of sweet, smoky, and aromatic flavors, perfect for crafting an authentic paella.
