Paella Seasoning is an MSG-free seasoning blend created to celebrate one of the signature dishes in Spanish cuisine. It is also referred to as paella spices, paella spice, Spanish paella seasoning or seafood paella seasoning.

Paella is a rice dish that was created in its modern form in the mid-19th century in Valencia, a town on the eastern coast of Spain. This dish was named not in honor of the ingredients but rather, of the wide, shallow paella, or frying pan, it’s traditionally cooked in. This dish originated as a way to provide a filling, nutritious lunch for farmers and farm laborers, and was originally made with field-related food like green beans and rabbit. Valencian fishermen soon made this dish with seafood, and Valencian seafood paella is still the most popular version of this dish today.

Businesses that frequently purchase Paella Seasoning are: 

• American and Latin American restaurants;

• wine bars; 
• independent spice shops; 
• olive oil shops; and
