Paella _ YOUR E CA
BEST PAELLA OF THE VALENCIAN COMMUNITY OF THE SUECA 60+1 INTERNATIONAL PAELLA COMPETITION
On September 12, our Chef Josetxo Pajares in the company of Juan Ramón Casanova participated in the 60+1 Sueca International Paella Contest.
Trying to return to the "normality" experienced in previous editions, it has been a very special edition, since last year the 60th anniversary was forced to be postponed due to the health situation
.
There were up to 40 establishments that represented different parts of the world in order to cook The Best Valencian Paella in the World .
All with the same recipe and ingredients, distributed by the organization, cooked their rice dishes over firewood throughout the morning, as indicated by the traditional Sueca recipe, and then gave way to the jury, which would carefully take into account criteria such as the point of rice, the proportion of the ingredients, the colour, the taste and even the point of charring.
Our team won the award for The Best Valencian Paella cooked in the Valencian Community. For us a great pride, we did not hesitate for a second in the hands of the team that represented us.
