Our 15″ pan of paella contains only 3 cups of rice so it is a very rich and abundant dish.  Our paella costs $16.99 a pound.

Need a Pan for a Party?

Call us on Wednesday to arrange to take an entire pan of paella home (or to the beach!) on Friday.  It is offered in 15″ pans which will feed between 8 to 10 people generously.  We charge for the weight of the paella in the pan.  This will vary from pan to pan since each is individually crafted.  Generally a pan of paella weighs between 8 and 10 pounds. The weight of the pan itself if deducted from the total.

Pan Deposit: If you arrange to take your paella home in a pan, we ask for a deposit equal to the pan’s retail price.  If you bring the pan back we will refund your deposit.  Or, you may keep the pan so that you can make paella at home.

What do I serve with paella?

Starters might include Spanish cheeses, marinated olives.  And don’t forget the Marcona almonds!  Look in our Fresh Pack department for ideas and supplies.

Consider serving a crisp green salad with the paella. And, of course, some sangria or Spanish wine.  Ask us for wine recommendations. We carry lots of reasonably priced, ready to drink wine that pairs perfectly with paella.

Olive Oils & Vinegars

Come in and taste various olive oils, vinegars we offer.

We carry a wide variety of olive oil from Italy, Spain, Greece and California.  We can offer you a taste of each so that you can determine which type and style you prefer.

We also offer two “house” olive oils because we think every kitchen should have both a “lubricant” grade and a “condiment” quality oil for various uses.  Although both our house oils are high quality extra virgin olive oil, our lubricant oil is especially good for sautéing, roasting and frying.  And our condiment oil is recommended for dressing, dipping, drizzling.

We also feature premium quality house balsamic vinegar with a robust fruity flavor.
