WHERE TO EAT AUTHENTIC PAELLA?
This is the never-ending question that this publication responds to in a clear and thorough manner, based on criteria of independence and knowledge currently available on Wikipaella. A useful tool for those who want to enjoy the Classic Paellas and acknowledgment for establishments that strive every day to safeguard our gastronomic tradition.
The restaurants are distinguished by the Wikipaella inspectors, an open, anonymous and voluntary group that visits establishments and specialist rice restaurants. Motivated by their dedication and the desire to uphold the values of paella-makers, to seek out where rice and its recipes are treated with professionalism, affection and respect for tradition. A pivotal feature for an establishment to deserve an entry in Wikipaella.
CULLERA DE FUSTA
The use of dry plant cuttings requires extensive, specific facilities and highly complex logistics, especially in urban areas. Valencians know that firewood, quality basic produce and socarraet are the three requisites to achieve the perfect paella. For this reason, Wikipaella has created the “Cullera de Fusta” (Wooden Spoon) distinction, a unique, extraordinary award to praise the highest level of commitment in hostelry to gastronomic culture.
