Bittersweet smoked Paprika 75g

Pimentón de La Vera is a genuine artisan product, unique in it’s concept and production process with a quality stamp of ‘Protected Denomination of Origin, P.D.O.’ that guarantees this. The peppers are carefully selected and undergo the traditional ‘La Vera’ drying process. The oak wood fire provides the heat necessary for the perfect dehydration of the fruits – a process lasting ten to fifteen days during which expert hands cleverly turn the peppers until the ideal degree of dryness is achieved. It is this traditional drying system of the pimentón that produces its three fundamental characteristics; aroma, flavour and colour stability. Once dried the peppers are sent to a traditional stone mill where the stalks and seeds are eliminated prior to grinding. Special care and attention must be paid to the temperature reached in order to ensure a fine, red and uniform powder of perfect quality. This essential seasoning from the natural region of the La Vera in Southern Spain adds character to a vast amount of dishes including pork, eggs, chips and potatoes, rice, octopus (Pulpo a la Gallega) and Spain’s most famous dish the Paella. We are proud to offer you one of the country’s finest specimens.
