@blogdiva There is no Paella Valenciana, because all Valencia IS Paella!! 🥘 😀
My Grandma taught my mom (her daughter in law) how to make paella over a fire. Hers was generally rabbit and seafood (muscles, clams, prawns) because that was what most people had easiest access to! We use chicken most often now instead of rabbit but it is always amazing!!

Valencia is a lot like California. it’s considered one of the “bread basket” regions of Spain. it produces most of the tomatoes, oranges and olive oil for exports.
these floods are going to have devastating consequences to the food supply in Spain and all of Europe.
the price of olive oil is going to sky rocket world wide. Spain produces something like half of all the olive oil used worldwide. Italy and Greece depend on Spanish olive oil for their brands.

BTW
after 1492, many Moros and Sefaradís escaped from Castillian occupation to the then independent kingdom of Catalunya, which included Valencia; because Spain was organized into independentish kingdoms.
Valencia, which had been part of Al-Andalus at one point, became producer & exporter of rice. it’s why we have PAELLA VALENCIANA.
paella is valencian catalan for frying pan.
most of what USA thinks is Spanish/Castillian food is actually Valencian/Catalán Sefaradí/Moro food…🧵

@fbuontempo @blogdiva ah, funny story about that, olive oil supply has dried, since because of the heat and drought, the olive trees simply aren't flowering. That happened 3 or four years ago, and the national olive oil reserve finally got wiped out last year. I don't think you have noticed it that much yet, because the export quota has been fulfilled, but we sure have noticed it. We haven't really "run out" since prices are so jacked up nobody can buy it, but... Give it one or two years more.

@blogdiva Olive oil price is already high, partly cos of fires in Greece. Climate change is real folks

@blogdiva Una pequeña apreciación: Andalucía produce alrededor del 80% del aceite de oliva en España, el desastre en Valencia afectará muchas otras cosas, pero su incidencia en el aceite será limitada.
El aceite lleva un año en máximos históricos por la sequía, y el oportunismo de los productores y distribuidores.
