Valencia, the pantry of the Mediterranean
The best of Mediterranean cuisine is born in our land: fresh products from the orchard, fish from the sea, and rice from L’Albufera. A gastronomy that defines us and is experienced through producers, markets, and chefs.
Discover the local gastronomy
Paella is the great icon of Valencian gastronomy, born next to L’Albufera. But so are the products from the orchard and the sea, such as esgarraet, titaina, or espencat, along with recipes like allipebre. Accompany it with wines from the Valencian denominations of origin, horchata, or Agua de València, and discover its authentic Mediterranean flavor.
