Thinking of cooking a paella recipe but want to do better than the local supermarket ready meals and ingredients? Do you want to cook a bonafide, real spanish paella, the kind you would only expect to enjoy in Spain but not sure where to get all the basic, authentic ingredients or how to cook it? We've removed the hassle of having to source all these ingredients with our Paella Starter Kit that provides you with all the essential ingredients to cook an authentic yet easy paella recipe from the comfort of your home. This Paella Starter kit is suitable for any seafood or chicken paella recipe. All you will need to do is follow our easy paella recipe using the starter kit ingredients and add meat, fish or both, some vegetables and stock and you've got a classic spanish paella that will astound friends and family. The Paella Starter kit includes: Senorio de Vizcantar is a Spanish extra virgin olive oil from Priego de Cordoba. This premium olive oil is a blend of three olive varieties; picudo, hojiblanca and picual. The fruity intensity of the Picudo, the subtle almond hints of the Hojiblanca and the austere astringency of the Picual all make for a complex and intresting oil. The logo is taken from a medieval engraving which translates as love of agriculture and respect for tradition. Senorio de Vizcantar has won best olive oil by German magazine Derfeinschmeker and French magazine Le Guide des Huiles D´olive. Catala Paella Rice (1Kg) is the key ingredient in any Paella dish. The rice comes from Valencia and includes the varieties Senia y Bahia. Paella rice absorbs liquid up to the point of doubling its volume whilst retaining the flavour of stock unlike any other International varieties. El Angel Smoked Paprika Dulce Can 75g, Spanish paprika (Pimenton) is a traditional product of designation made from the milling of different varieties of red peppers, normally from either ocales, jaranda, jariza, jeromin and bola varieties or a mixture. It is grown and produced exclusively in the region of Extremadura in Spain. The peppers are smoked by the growers before being sent to the factory where they are ground in ancient stone mills. This coarse ground pimenton is smoky with a pleasant warmth. It has a high colouring characteristic and it is known to be the main secret to Spanish charcuterie, such as chorizo sausages and lomo iberico. La Molineta de Minaya Saffron (0.5G) contains authentic saffron from La Mancha, an essential ingredient in the preparation and cooking of Spanish Paella. La Molineta saffron carries the stamp of approval from the Denomination of Origin. La Mancha saffron is considered to be the best saffron in the world. Basco Soft Cooking Chorizo Picante (350g) is a spicy chorizo sausage from La Rioja cured for only 6 days, so when fried in the paella pan it releases all the flavours and aromas which are key to a proper Paella dish. Order our Paella Starter Kit oday and get free delivery (Mainland UK) when you spend over £50! PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS HAMPER MUST BE STORED IN A DRY AND COOL PLACE 0-8 DEGREES. OTHERWISE THE CHORIZO NEEDS REFRIGERATING IF YOU ARE NOT USING IT STRAIGHTAWAY.

I bought my son a Paella Pan and burner for his birthday and wanted the starter kit as a surprise. It was absolutely wonderful and helped us have the most delicious meal. We really could have been in Spain! (Even though the promised heatwave passed us by). Thanks so much. Did not receive my 10% off my first order . BASCO has the best customer service I have ever received!! I recommend the company and the ingredients wholeheartedly

A fabulous outdoor cooking kit and with the Paella Starter Kit and the help of the How To - '8 easy steps' and the basic Chicken and Chorizo paella recipe we had a gorgeous tasty first authentic home-cooked paella to serve with visitors. Service with Basco was excellent and when I left a call message about my next-day delivery I received a prompt return call and all sorted 'just like that'. I can see our family using Basco many times in the future. Thank you very much.

An exciting combination of the essential ingredients. So far away from supermarket purchases. A package to give one the confidence to pursue and embrace the beauty that is Spanish cuisine. Beautifully packaged and presented making the idea of a homemade paella irresistible.but more importantly attainable.
