At Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort<\/strong>, excellence has always been a top priority, and that\u2019s why the addition of Quique Barella<\/strong> as Culinary Director marks a significant step toward achieving that goal. Barella, a renowned chef from Valencia with an impressive career, brings his innovative vision and passion for cooking to the resort’s fifteen dining outlets, including the standout Aura restaurant<\/strong>. Here, he aims to establish a signature, creative cuisine concept that will appeal to both local and international guests.<\/p>\n

\"Barella<\/p>\n

From His Origins to Author Cuisine<\/h2>\n

\u201cMy parents ran a traditional bar, and by the age of 14, I was already behind the counter,\u201d recalls Quique Barella<\/strong>. Born in the Grao neighborhood of Valencia, he grew up immersed in the family business, where his love for gastronomy and cooking blossomed from a young age. He later studied at the Escuela de Hosteler\u00eda de Castell\u00f3n<\/strong>, marking the beginning of a professional journey that took him to various regions across Spain.<\/p>\n

However, the turning point in his career came with his time at the prestigious El Celler de Can Roca<\/strong>. \u201cAt that time, there were only eight of us on the team. I learned so much working side by side with everyone. It changed the way I thought: cooking stopped being just a job and became my leitmotiv<\/strong>.\u201d He explains, “They taught me that everything on a plate should have a reason, and every detail must make sense.\u201d This experience taught him to question every detail and to create dishes with purpose and meaning. After this formative period, he went on to run his own restaurant, Q de Barella<\/strong>, in Valencia, and expanded into roles as an executive chef and culinary consultant.<\/p>\n

This meticulous approach, combined with his passion for author cuisine, pushed him to continue refining his style. His appearances on shows like Canal Cocina<\/strong> helped him gain the recognition he enjoys today.<\/p>\n

A Gastronomic Project with a Future at Oliva Nova<\/h2>\n

Since joining Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort<\/strong> in May 2024, Barella has focused his efforts on enhancing the resort’s culinary offerings. At venues like Wine&Tapas<\/strong>, he has introduced new items to the menu and cocktails, while at Aura<\/strong>, he is working to integrate a contemporary proposal without losing sight of the tastes of the regular clientele. According to Barella, the key lies in using high-quality local products, such as fresh fish from the markets of D\u00e9nia<\/strong> and X\u00e0bia<\/strong>, to surprise diners from around the world.<\/p>\n

Now, in his role as Culinary Director at Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort, Quique Barella has taken on the challenge of elevating the resort’s culinary offerings to new heights. “One of the things that made me bet on this project was the range of opportunities it offers. The spaces, the resources, and the climate are unique. Everything is set up to do things right and take full advantage of the enormous potential we have here,\u201d Barella explains.<\/p>\n

Quique not only highlights the beauty of the setting but also the quality of the team. “With the spaces we have and the team we’re working with, I\u2019m confident this project will be a success. We want every dish to be an experience, and we want our restaurants to reflect the richness and diversity of Mediterranean gastronomy.\u201d<\/p>\n
