My name is Maria Elena Rebolledo Montilla and I own and operate ‘Elena’s Paella’ together with my husband, Joe.

I was born in Madrid, Spain and my family dates back many generations.

I was raised by my abuela (grandmother) and when I was a young girl my abuela taught me how to cook the traditional family paella, as did her mother and her mother before her.

I came to Australia in 1985 after meeting my husband, Joe overseas.

I started cooking paella for family and friends, they all told me that I should share my paella with all of Melbourne.

Many of my customers have asked  me for Spanish products, paella pans and  cooking equipment, so it was time to open our online store with authentic Spanish products
