30 Mar Discover with El Colmado the most featured types of paella of the Spanish gastronomy. Which one you prefer?
The idea of creating a Spanish restaurant in Berlin was always on our mind and now we can already affirm that we have fulfilled a dream. Getting to export the best Spanish products, as well as the Spanish gastronomy itself, was a difficult but tempting challenge. The quality of the food and the faithful representation of the gastronomy from each corner of the Spanish peninsula were the key to success. Spanish tapas have landed in the German capital on the right foot. Pintxos have been the gateway for different groups to get to know the Spanish delicatessen hidden behind those short bites. Enriched with high quality Rioja wines and cavas, our menu has been expanding, ensuring the rich variety of Spanish gastronomy. The possibility of enjoying the gourmet treats in El Colmado is diverse: we offer Spanish catering to groups in order to taste Spanish products in an economic and simple way. Likewise, we also offer the option of tasting Serrano ham cut by a professional knife cutter of ham. But we do not leave it only within the walls of our establishment, we offer you in fact the option of buying the Spanish gourmet products for you to enjoy them home.
PAELLA, A SPECIAL EVENT FOR A SPECIAL DISH
One of the most characteristic dishes of Spanish gastronomy, very common in the Valencia region, is paella. Spanish paellas are defined as a stew of rice, meat and vegetables. The ingredients that are usually part of it vary depending on the region. It is such a special dish that you will not find it on the menu, however, we celebrate events at El Colmado or caterings where paella is the protagonist. Alternatively, we can also cook it upon request. The internalization of the Spanish paellas is a fact. But, the paella that you can enjoy in the Spanish restaurant in Berlin, El Colmado, respects the ingredients and historical recipes that have boosted it as a worldwide star dish of Spanish gastronomy. There are several historical Spanish paellas: Valencian paella, considered the oldest version of this dish, is made with typical products from the region of Valencia. The main ingredients are free-range meat and garden vegetables. There’s also the seafood paella, made with fish soup and different kinds of seafood such as cuttlefish, squid, mussels or small lobsters. We invite you to contact us to try the different Spanish paellas and to enjoy the immense flavour of this amazing dish.
