Smoked Sweet Paprika De La Vera D.O.P.

Smoked Sweet Paprika De La Vera D.O.P.

Our splendid Smoked Sweet Paprika De La Vera is made from naturally grown and handpicked paprika peppers in La Vera, a county in the province of Caceres, Extremadura. Smoked Sweet Paprika De La Vera is probably the most famous of all the Spanish paprikas. It’s characteristically dried by smoking freshly harvested red peppers over oak firewood in a slow process that can take up to 15 days.

The dry peppers are then ground using traditional stone mills to form the paprika. By adding paprika to your paella, sauted potatoes, stews or marinades you will give them a vibrant taste and a beautiful colour. It can also be sprinkled over boiled potatoes, octopus, pork, cheese boards, etc. Our Pimenton de La Vera has D.O.P. status (Protected Denomination of Origin).
