The Origins of Paella

Although paella is by and large considered one of Spain’s most emblematic dishes, it, in fact, originates from the region of Valencia, on the Eastern coast of the country. Rice was introduced there by the Moors over 1200 years ago and now Valencia is one of the largest rice producing regions in Spain.  Irrigation systems first developed by the Romans improved throughout the centuries, leading to rice being a staple in the diet of the area, by the 15th century. The origin of paella as we now know it is believed to be open-air meals cooked around the lake Albufera in Valencia, in which one of the main ingredients was water vole.
