The Paella Kit from Taylor Shellfish Farms, which was developed in collaboration with Matiz, offers home cooks a carefully curated selection of premium ingredients to recreate an authentic Spanish paella with minimal effort.
The Paella Kit stays true to the dish’s Valencian roots — where it began as a rustic, communal meal for laborers. The offering provides high-quality essentials yet allows for personal customization. Included in the package are Matiz’s signature paella rice, prized saffron, and a rich sofrito base, along with a traditional 13-inch paella pan for proper heat distribution and socarrat — the coveted crispy bottom layer. The seafood component features sustainably sourced Totten Inlet mussels, Manila clams, and wild-caught Gulf shrimp.
By combining convenience with artisanal ingredients, the Paella Kit simplifies the cooking process without compromising authenticity.
