The Land of Valencia has gained a deserved place in the annalsof cookery thanks to its world-famous paella, the queen ofregional cuisine. But the culinary delights certainly don’t endhere. Apart from this traditional dish combining products fromthe land and the sea, each town and village has its own variationon the rice theme. In fact, there are thousands of ways toprepare local rice: arròs negre (with squid), caldoso (stewed),al horno (oven-baked), a la marinera (fisherman’s style), concostra (with omelette topping), rossejat (with chick peas), etc.
Then come the fresh vegetables from the local gardens, thehuertas, and fresh fish and shellfish, plus game, ‘free range’poultry, all used as ingredients for old recipes which havestood the test of time. Restaurants offer dishes such asfideuà, gazpachos, sausages, all i pebre, cruet de peix, driedfish roe, etc.
Fresh oranges, table grapes from Vinalopó, medlars from Callosad’En Sarrià or cherries from the Alicante mountain orchards aregood for dessert. Or perhaps some turrón, arnadí, ice-cream orhorchata from Alboraya.
To accompany fine meals, nothing better than some red andyoung rosé wines from Utiel-Requena, or ‘cava’ or sparklingwine, a sweet Fondillón from Alicante, or crisp white winesfrom the Alto Turia, plus the traditional Alicante liqueursknown as herbero and café-licor. These wines all have their‘denominación de origen’: Alicante, Utiel-Requena and Valencia.
